Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
qaid ki muddat baDhi chhuTne ki jab tadbir ki
apni wahshat se hai shikwa dusre se kya gila
ras aae tumko mulk-e-ishq ki aab-o-hawa
hamari zindagi-o-maut ki ho tum raunaq
siye jate hain kafan aap ke diwanon ke
nahin hai jis mein tera ishq wo dil hai tabahi mein
hans hans ke kah raha hai jalana sawab hai
KHuda jaane ye gardish ka tariqa kab nikala hai
hua hai saKHt mushkil dafan hona tere wahshi ka
tumne ehsan kiya hai ki namak chhiDka hai
zindagi kahte hain kis ko maut kis ka nam hai
kabhi madfun hue the jis jagah par kushta-e-abru
sabhon ki aa gai piri jo tum jawan hue
intizar aap ka aisa hai ki dam kahta hai
dekhiye lazim-o-malzum ise kahte hain
