Faizabad, Uttar pradesh, India
sunta hun na kanon se na kuchh munh se hun bakta
sab ham-safir chhoD ke tanha chale gae
dekhen kya ab ke asiri hamein dikhlati hai
hawas hum par hoen kyunki dariya-e-mohabbat se
sad-chaak kiya pairhan-e-gul ko saba ne
mathe pe laga sandal wo haar pahan nikle
zahid ka dil na KHatir-e-mai-KHwar toDiye
na paya waqt ai zahid koi maine ibaadat ka
rang-e-gul-e-shagufta hun aab-e-ruKH-e-chaman hun main
ai aaftab hadi-e-ku-e-nigar ho
lutf-e-shab-e-mah ai dil us dam mujhe hasil ho
na kafir se KHalwat na zahid se ulfat
ya KHafa hote the hum to minnaten karte the aap
hamari dekhiyo ghaflat na samjhe wae nadani
dil mein ek iztirab baqi hai
