Faizabad, Uttar pradesh, India
jawani yaad hum ko apni phir be-iKHtiyar aai
yahi kahti laili-e-soKHta-jaan nahin khati adab se KHuda ki qasam
hue aazim-e-mulk-e-adam jo hawas to KHushi ye hui thi ki gham se chhuTe
main kaha bolna shab ghair se tha tumko kya
main na samjha bulbul be-baal-o-par ne kya kaha
kya din the jab chhup chhup kar tum pas hamare aate the
na paya khoj barson naqsh-e-pa-e-raftagan DhunDhe
humse warafta ulfat hain bahut kam paida
hargiz na mere mahram-e-hamraaz hue tum
muzhda ye saba us but-e-be-bak ko pahuncha
shauq-e-KHarash-e-Khaar mere dil mein rah gaya
rang-e-gul-e-shagufta hun aab-e-ruKH-e-chaman hun main
kya maza ho jo kisi se tujhe ulfat ho jae
dekhen kya ab ke asiri hamein dikhlati hai
tu jo paDa phirta hai aaj kahin kal kahin
