Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
taraf-e-kaba na ja haj ke liye nadan hai
yar pahlu mein hai tanhai hai kah do nikle
nawak-e-naz se mushkil hai bachana dil ka
girah se kuchh nahin jata hai pi bhi le zahid
baqi na dil mein koi bhi ya rab hawas rahe
tir khane ki hawas hai to jigar paida kar
ye bhi ek baat hai adawat ki
shaiKH kahta hai barhaman ko barhaman usko saKHt
ulfat mein barabar hai wafa ho ki jafa ho
kisi rais ki mahfil ka zikr hi kya hai
mera KHat usne paDha paDh ke nama-bar se kaha
allah-ri nazakat-e-jaanan ki sher mein
ho gaya band dar-e-mai-kada kya qahr hua
sau sher ek jalse mein kahte the hum amir
sidhi nigah mein teri hain tir ke KHwas
