Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
na chhoDa dil-e-KHasta-jaan chalte chalte
dam-e-raftar-e-jaanan ye sada-e-naz aati hai
Thahar jawed ke arman dil-e-muztar nikalte hain
jo hawa hai surat-e-baad-e-muKhaalif tez hai
shurua ahl-e-mohabbat ke imtihan hue
hum ajal ke aane par bhi tera intizar karte
jis ko aadat wasl ki ho hijr se kyunkar bane
josh-e-wahshat mere talwon ko ye iza bhi sahi
dila mashuq jo hota hai wo saffak hota hai
hai andhera to samajhta hun shab-e-gesu hai
hai be-KHud wasl mein dil hijr mein muztar siwa hoga
jo mujhe marghub ho wo sogwari chahiye
sharab-e-nab ka qatra jo saghar se nikal jae
tanKHwah-e-tabar bahr-e-daraKHtan-e-kuhan hai
agar gul ki koi pati jhaDi hai
