Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
shurua ahl-e-mohabbat ke imtihan hue
na chhoDa dil-e-KHasta-jaan chalte chalte
tanKHwah-e-tabar bahr-e-daraKHtan-e-kuhan hai
hai andhera to samajhta hun shab-e-gesu hai
josh-e-wahshat mere talwon ko ye iza bhi sahi
nazar kar tez hai taqdir miTTi ki ki patthar ki
dil hamara jaanib-e-zulf-e-siyah-fam aaega
agar dila gham-e-gesu-e-ya baDh jata
garm raftar hai teri ye pata dete hain
dila mashuq jo hota hai wo saffak hota hai
wasl ke din ka ishaara hai ki Dhal jaunga
jo mujhe marghub ho wo sogwari chahiye
gardish-e-chashm hai paimane mein
jis ko aadat wasl ki ho hijr se kyunkar bane
bagh mein jugnu chamakte hain jo pyare raat ko
