Etah, Uttar pradesh, India
mera haal-e-zar to dekha magar
mujhe KHabar nahin gham kya hai aur KHushi kya hai
ishq ruswa-kun-e-alam wo hai ahsan jis se
rok le ai zabt jo aansu ke chashm-e-tar mein hai
ye sadma jite ji dil se hamare ja nahin sakta
kar ke dafn apne parae chal diye
maut hi aap ke bimar ki qismat mein na thi
qasid nai ada se ada-e-payam ho
hamara intiKHab achchha nahin ai dil to phir tu hi
kisi mashuq ka aashiq se KHafa ho jaana
saqi o waiz mein zid hai baada-kash chakkar mein hai
tamam umr isi ranj mein tamam hui
tang aa gaya hun wusat-e-mafhum-e-ishq se
kisi ko bhej ke KHat hae ye kaisa azab aaya
rah-e-ulfat ka nishan ye hai ki wo hai be-nishan
