Machli shahar, Uttar pradesh, India
roz puja ke liye phul sajata hai salam
tum sharab pi kar bhi hosh-mand rahte ho
yun hi aankhon mein aa gae aansu
kash tum samajh saktin zindagi mein shaer ki aise din bhi aate hain
shukriya ai gardish-e-jam-e-sharab
wo dil se tang aa ke aaj mahfil mein husn ki tamkanat ki KHatir
meri maut ai saqi irtiqa hai hasti ka
wo sirf main hun jo sau jannaten saja kar bhi
raat dil ko tha sahar ka intizar
ajib baat hai main jab bhi kuchh udas hua
gham musalsal ho to ahbab bichhaD jate hain
aaj to shama hawaon se ye kahti hai salam
kabhi kabhi to suna hai hila diye hain mahal
kabhi kabhi arz-e-gham ki KHatir hum ek bahana bhi chahte hain
ai mere ghar ki fazaon se gurezan mahtab
