Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
lab-ba-lab bint-ul-anab har-dam rahe
tu wo hindostan mein lala hai
sharten jo bandagi mein lagana rawa hua
TuTe jo dant munh ki shabahat bigaD gai
jo murgh-e-qibla-numa ban ke aashiyan se chale
jon sabza rahe ugte hi pairon ke tale hum
jis ke hum bimar hain gham ne use bhi randa hai
sada rang-e-mina chamakta raha
kya kahun ghuncha-e-gul nim-dahan hai kuchh aur
gar junun kar mujhe paband-e-salasil jata
ghairon mein hina wo mal raha hai
dil ki kahun ya kahun jigar ki
humne bandhe hain us pe kya kya joD
jaan ya dil nazr karna chahiye
KHat dekhiye didar ki sujhi ye nai hai
