Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
uqde ulfat ke sab ai rashk-e-qamar khol diye
hae sharm-e-dilbari us dilruba ke hath hai
raaz ulfat ke ayan raat ko sare hote
junun ki fasl aai baDh gai tauqir patthar ki
aap dil ja kar jo zaKHmi ho to mizhgan kya kare
mujhko manzur hai marne pe subuk-bari ho
Dar nahin thukte hain KHun jo dukh pae hue
mar Dalegi hamein ye KHush-bayani aap ki
Khaar-o-KHas phenke chaman ke raste jari kare
jab se suna dahan tere ai mah-ru nahin
hai be-KHud wasl mein dil hijr mein muztar siwa hoga
baDha ye shak ki ghairon ki tan mein aag lagi
hijr hai ab tha yahin mein zar hum pahlu-e-dost
kabhi gesu na bigDe qatil ke
surKH ho jata hai munh meri nazar ke bojh se
