Barabanki, Uttar pradesh, India
aaKHir wo iztirab ke din bhi guzar gae
lakh nadan hain magar itni saza bhi na mile
ai saba nikhat-e-gesu-e-muambar lana
ji mein hai ek din jhum kar us shoKH ko sajda karun
qaza jo de to ilahi zara badal ke mujhe
ujaD ke ghar se sar-e-rah aa ke baiThe hain
aashiq hue to ishq mein hoshyar kyun na the
ye qadam qadam kashakash dil be-qarar kya hai
khoe hue sahra tak ai baad-e-saba jaana
jamal-e-nastarani rang-o-bu-e-yasmani
bahut dinon mein hum un se jo ham-kalam hue
