Etawah, Uttar pradesh, India
mujhe shikwa nahin barbaad rakh barbaad rahne de
ye saqi ki karamat hai ki faiz-e-mai-parasti hai
halak-e-tegh-e-jafa ya shahid-e-naz kare
justuju karte hi karte kho gaya
na to apne ghar mein qarar hai na teri gali mein qayam hai
agar kaba ka ruKH bhi jaanib-e-mai-KHana ho jae
parde uThe hue bhi hain unki idhar nazar bhi hai
kabe ka shauq hai na sanam-KHana chahiye
mujhse chhup kar mere armanon ko barbaad na kar
mujhe jalwon ki uske tamiz ho kya mere hosh-o-hawas bacha hi nahin
yun gulshan-e-hasti ki mali ne bina Dali
shadi o alam sab se hasil hai subukdoshi
barhaman mujhko banana na musalman karna
gul ka kiya jo chaak gareban bahaar ne
na mehrab-e-haram samjhe na jaane taq-e-but-KHana
