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
humse warafta ulfat hain bahut kam paida
na paya khoj barson naqsh-e-pa-e-raftagan DhunDhe
hargiz na mere mahram-e-hamraaz hue tum
muzhda ye saba us but-e-be-bak ko pahuncha
rang-e-gul-e-shagufta hun aab-e-ruKH-e-chaman hun main
shauq-e-KHarash-e-Khaar mere dil mein rah gaya
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
