Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
shama bujh kar rah gai parwana jal kar rah gaya
dil samajhta tha ki KHalwat mein wo tanha honge
dil ki aaludgi-e-zaKHm baDhi jati hai
mujhko kaba mein bhi hamesha shaiKH
hum to dil hi par samajhte the buton ka iKHtiyar
ye teri aarzu mein baDhi wusat-e-nazar
jab se zulfon ka paDa hai isMein aks
ye mashwara baham uTThe hain chaara-ju karte
paida wo baat kar ki tujhe roen dusre
kabhi jannat kabhi dozaKH kabhi kaba kabhi dair
hamesha se mizaj-e-husn mein diqqat-pasandi hai
ai soz-e-ishq-e-pinhan ab qissa muKHtasar hai
