Faizabad, Uttar pradesh, India
sunta hun na kanon se na kuchh munh se hun bakta
sahra mein hawas Khaar-e-mughilan ki madad se
aashna koi nazar aata nahin yan ai hawas
sab ham-safir chhoD ke tanha chale gae
dekhen kya ab ke asiri hamein dikhlati hai
na paya waqt ai zahid koi maine ibaadat ka
talash is tarah bazm-e-aish mein hai be-nishanon ki
rang-e-gul-e-shagufta hun aab-e-ruKH-e-chaman hun main
ya KHafa hote the hum to minnaten karte the aap
mathe pe laga sandal wo haar pahan nikle
lutf-e-shab-e-mah ai dil us dam mujhe hasil ho
dil mein ek iztirab baqi hai
hawas hum par hoen kyunki dariya-e-mohabbat se
ai aaftab hadi-e-ku-e-nigar ho
zahid ka dil na KHatir-e-mai-KHwar toDiye
