Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
sari duniya ke hain wo mere siwa
baghban kaliyan hon halke rang ki
hue namwar be-nishan kaise kaise
kaba-e-ruKH ki taraf paDhni hai aankhon se namaz
wahi rah jate hain zabanon par
ye kahunga ye kahunga ye abhi kahte ho
shab-e-furqat ka jaga hun farishto ab to sone do
sab hasin hain zahidon ko na-pasand
shauq kahta hai pahunch jaun main ab kabe mein jald
tir par tir lagao tumhein Dar kis ka hai
mani hain maine saikaDon baaten tamam umr
bosa liya jo us lab-e-shirin ka mar gae
aabru shart hai insan ke liye duniya mein
kabab-e-siKH hain hum karwaTen har-su badalte hain
tul-e-shab-e-firaq ka qissa na puchhiye
