Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
kya ye but baiThenge KHuda ban kar
dukha dil bhi TukDe jigar hote hote
lab-e-jaan-baKHsh par jo nala hai
hum wo nalan hain boli-Tholi mein
suna hum ko aate jo andar se bahar
taswir meri hai aks tera tu aur nahin main aur nahin
ji jaun jo band natiqa ho
ye sanam bhi ghaTor kitne hain
jo beach mein aaina ho pyare idhar hamare udhar tumhaare
na-tawan wo hun nigahon mein sama hi na sakun
humse do-chaar bazm mein dhyan aur ki taraf
pas us but ke jo ghair aa ke koi baiTh gaya
kahte hain nala-e-hazin sun ke
lunj wo pa-e-talab hun kahin ja hi na sakun
abr-e-dida ka mere ho jo na ojhaD pani
