Agra, Uttar pradesh, India
jarahat-tohfa almas-armughan dagh-e-jigar hadiya
kahte to ho tum sab ki but-e-ghaaliya-mu aae
sar-gashtagi mein aalam-e-hasti se yas hai
aa ki meri jaan ko qarar nahin hai
mehrban ho ke bula lo mujhe chaho jis waqt
nukta-chin hai gham-e-dil usko sunae na bane
shumar-e-subha marghub-e-but-e-mushkil-pasand aaya
rashk kahta hai ki us ka ghair se iKHlas haif
arz-e-niyaz-e-ishq ke qabil nahin raha
safa-e-hairat-e-aina hai saman-e-zang aaKHir
lun wam baKHt-e-KHufta se yak-KHwab-e-KHush wale
hun main bhi tamashai-e-nairang-e-tamanna
wo firaq aur wo visal kahan
hai bazm-e-butan mein suKHan aazurda-labon se
lazim tha ki dekho mera rasta koi din aur
