Agra, Uttar pradesh, India
jalwe ka tere wo aalam hai ki gar kije KHayal
leta hun maktab-e-gham-e-dil mein sabaq hunuz
zoaf mein tana-e-aghyar ka shikwa kya hai
sabza o gul kahan se aae hain
kah sake kaun ki ye jalwagari kis ki hai
farda-o-di ka tafraqa yak bar miT gaya
jama karte ho kyun raqibon ko
raat din gardish mein hain sat aasman
ghalati-ha-e-mazamin mat puchh
rahmat agar qubul kare kya baid hai
phir dekhiye andaz-e-gul-afshani-e-guftar
ta phir na intizar mein nind aae umr bhar
kya farz hai ki sab ko mile ek sa jawab
ishrat-e-qatra hai dariya mein fana ho jaana
shahid-e-hasti-e-mutlaq ki kamar hai aalam
