Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
uski hasrat hai jise dil se miTa bhi na sakun
chup bhi ho bak raha hai kya waiz
ham-sar-e-zulf qad-e-hur-e-shamail Thahra
wasl ki shab bhi KHafa wo but-e-maghrur raha
na bewafai ka Dar tha na gham judai ka
firaq-e-yar ne bechain mujhko raat bhar rakkha
main ro ke aah karunga jahan rahe na rahe
amir lakh idhar se udhar zamana hua
kuchh Khaar hi nahin mere daman ke yar hain
kis ke chamke chand se ruKHsar qiasar-bagh mein
pahle to mujhe kaha nikalo
ya-rab shab-e-visal ye kaisa gajar baja
ai zabt dekh ishq ki un ko KHabar na ho
hai KHamoshi zulm-charKH-e-dew-paikar ka jawab
dil juda mal juda jaan juda lete hain
