Saharanpur, Uttar pradesh, India
kahin fasana-e-gham hai kahin KHushi ki pukar
kahne ko sab fasana-e-ghaib-o-shuhud tha
kya sitam kar gai ai dost teri chashm-e-karam
KHirad ko gumshuda-e-ku-ba-ku samajhte hain
pas-e-wahshat hai to yaad-e-ruKH-e-laila bhi na kar
tujh pe khul jae ki kya mehr ko shabnam se mila
rang par jab wo bazm-e-naz aai
wo barq-e-naz gurezan nahin to kuchh bhi nahin
zahr-e-chashm-e-saqi mein kuchh ajib masti hai
husn-e-asnam ba-har-lamha fuzun hai ki nahin
ek laghzish mein dar-e-pir-e-mughan tak pahunche
rang us mahfil-e-tamkin mein jamaya na gaya
KHalwati-e-KHayal ko hosh mein koi lae kyun
hum mai-kashon ke qadmon par akasr
