Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
tumhein hanste hue dekha hai jab se
haqarat se na dekho sakinan-e-KHak ki basti
KHud chale aao ya bula bhejo
taqlid ab main hazrat-e-waiz ki kyun karun
naza ka waqt hai baiTha hai sirhane koi
be-KHudi kucha-e-jaanan mein liye jati hai
tah mein dariya-e-mohabbat ke thi kya chiz aziz
be-piye waiz ko meri rae mein
hadsat-e-dahr mein wabasta-e-arbab-e-dard
hai dil mein josh-e-hasrat rukte nahin hain aansu
duniya ka KHun daur-e-mohabbat mein hai safed
aziz munh se wo apne naqab to ulTen
sabaq aa ke gor-e-ghariban se le lo
hamesha tinke hi chunte guzar gai apni
main to hasti ko samajhta hun sarasar ek gunah
