Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
bosa zulf-e-dota ka do
ishq-e-ruKH-o-zulf mein kiya kuch
KHalish-e-Khaar ho wahshat mein ki gham TuT paDe
wo mai-parast hun badli na jab nazar aai
ai bad-guman tera hai guman aur ki taraf
shagufta hote hi murjha gai kali afsos
nazron se gulon ki nau-nihaalo
har shab KHayal-e-ghair ke mare alag-thalag
ishq mein zor umr-bhar mara
duniya mein qasr-o-aiwan be-faeda banaya
gosh kar fariyaad-e-ashiq jaan kar
zara dekhna KHaksari hamari
hui to ja dil mein us sanam ki namaz mein sar jhuka jhuka kar
shakl-e-mizhgan na Khaar ki si hai
qaul us darogh-go ka koi bhi sach hua hai
