Azamgarh, Uttar pradesh, India
aql pahunchi jo riwayat ke kashane tak
dekh kar jada-e-hasti pe subuk-gam mujhe
rasm hi shahr-e-tamanna se wafa ki uTh jae
mahfil-e-dost mein go sina-figar aae hain
gaya tha bazm-e-mohabbat mein Khaali jam liye
gham mein ek mauj sarKHushi ki hai
Dar Dar ke jise main sun raha hun
tujhe pasand jo dil ki lagan nahin aai
kuchh mere shauq ne dar-parda kaha ho jaise
dil teri yaad mein har lamha taDapta bhi nahin
un aankhon ko nazar kya aa gaya hai
gulshan-e-dil mein mile aql ke sahra mein mile
badal ke bhes wo chehra kahan kahan na mila
kyun yurish-e-tarab mein bhi gham yaad aa gae
