Aligarh, Uttar pradesh, India
ragon mein raat se ye KHun sa rawan hai kya
samundar tishnagi wahshat rasai chashma-e-lab tak
is soch mein hi marhala-e-shab guzar gaya
inayat hai teri bas ek ehsan aur itna kar
badal jaega sab kuchh ye tamasha bhi nahin hoga
jo is baras nahin agle baras mein de de tu
hamare zehn mein ye baat bhi nahin aai
ba-nam-e-ishq ek ehsan sa abhi tak hai
nadi thi kashtiyan thin chandni thi jharna tha
mata-e-pas-e-wafa kho nahin sakunga main
mere suKHan pe ek ehsan ab ke sal to kar
mujhe taslim be-chun-o-chura tu haq-ba-jaanib tha
rah-e-wafa mein rahe ye nishan-e-KHatir bas
KHala sa Thahra hua hai ye chaar-su kaisa
sun rakha tha tajraba lekin ye pahla tha mera
