Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
kash sunte wo pur-asar baaten
ishq jo mearaj ka ek zina hai
kuchh hisab ai sitam ijad to kar
chashm-e-saqi ka tasawwur bazm mein kaam aa gaya
kaam duniya mein bahut karna hai
chaaragar chup hain kyun ilaj karen
dil ka chhaala phuTa hota
musibat thi hamare hi liye kyun
jam Khaali jahan nazar aaya
is wahm ki intiha nahin hai
intiha-e-ishq ho yun ishq mein kaamil bano
ai dil ye hai KHilaf-e-rasm-e-wafa-parasti
ek hi KHat mein hai kya haal jo mazkur nahin
jite hain kaise aisi misalon ko dekhiye
partaw-e-husn kahin anjuman-afroz to ho
