Barabanki, Uttar pradesh, India
bahaaron se KHizan tak yunhi sair-e-gulistan kar ke
dard-e-musalsal se aahon mein paida wo tasir hui
kuchh sazgar jab mere haalat bhi nahin
har-su jahan mein sham o sahar DhunDte hain hum
jahan na dil ko sukun hai na hai qarar mujhe
kabhi ahl-e-mohabbat yun na KHauf-e-jism-o-jaan karte
ek bar apna zarf-e-nazar dekh lijiye
yun tujhse dur dur rahun ye saza na de
hasraten aa aa ke jama ho rahi hain dil ke pas
jab kabhi madd-e-muqabil wo ruKH-e-zeba hua
har-qadam marhala-e-sabr-o-raza ho jaise
qalam ho jae sar parwa na karna
main iztirab mein hun sham se sahar ke liye
jam to jam mai-e-hosh-ruba bhi badli
kyun kahun koi qad-awar nahin aaya ab tak
