Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
kyun dhyan baTati hai mera gardish-e-duniya
nazr-e-gham shayad har ashk-e-KHun-chakan karna paDe
lahu mein Dubi hai tariKH-e-KHilqat-e-insan
sota raha honTon pe tabassum ka sawera
KHusha wo daur ki jab markaz-e-nigah the hum
ye jazr-o-mad hai padash-e-amal ek din yaqini hai
is dil mein to KHizan ki hawa tak nahin lagi
dam ghuTa jata hai mohabbat ka
diya hai dard to rang-e-qubul de aisa
ek ek se bhik aansuon ki mang raha hun
sajda-e-ishq pe tanqid na kar ai waiz
Takraun kyun zamane se kya faeda siraj
chand tinkon ki saliqe se agar tartib ho
aap ke panw ke niche dil hai
ishq ka banda bhi hun kafir bhi hun momin bhi hun
