Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
aae but-KHane se kabe ko to kya bhar paya
apni mahfil se abas hum ko uThate hain huzur
roz-o-shab yan ek si hai raushni
kashtiyan sab ki kinare pe pahunch jati hain
aafat to hai wo naz bhi andaz bhi lekin
allah-re sadgi nahin itni unhen KHabar
uski hasrat hai jise dil se miTa bhi na sakun
KHushk seron tan-e-shaer ka lahu hota hai
hai wasiyyat ki kafan mujhko isi ka dena
jawan hone lage jab wo to humse kar liya parda
wo dushmani se dekhte hain dekhte to hain
abhi aae abhi jate ho jaldi kya hai dam le lo
shaKHon se barg-e-gul nahin jhaDte hain bagh mein
achchhe isa ho marizon ka KHayal achchha hai
zabt dekho udhar nigah na ki
