Malerkotla, Punjab, India
apne anjam se Darta hun main
jo shua-e-lab hai mauj-e-nau-bahaar-e-naghma hai
dil jalane se kahan dur andhera hoga
kaj-kulahi ki ada yaad aai
usne mail-ba-karam ho ke bulaya hai mujhe
phir wo nazar hai izn-e-tamasha liye hue
ishq mein kab ye zaruri hai ki roya jae
daur-e-falak ke shikwe gile rozgar ke
teri aankhon mein jo nasha hai pazirai ka
kis ko hai husn-e-KHuda-dad ka dawa dekhen
ek chheD thi jafaon ka teri gila na tha
zaban raqs mein hai aur jhumta hun main
agarche be-hisi-e-dil mujhe gawara nahin
sher kahne ka maza hai ab to
ishq fani na husn fani hai
