Agra, Uttar pradesh, India
dagh-e-firaq-e-sohbat-e-shab ki jali hui
dil hi to hai na sang-o-KHisht dard se bhar na aae kyun
sambhalne de mujhe ai na-umidi kya qayamat hai
bahra hun main to chahiye duna ho iltifat
garche hai tarz-e-taghaful parda-dar-e-raaz-e-ishq
hain aur bhi duniya mein suKHan-war bahut achchhe
tha zindagi mein marg ka khaTka laga hua
apna nahin ye shewa ki aaram se baiThen
zikr us pari-wash ka aur phir bayan apna
sohbat mein ghair ki na paDi ho kahin ye KHu
pi jis qadar mile shab-e-mahtab mein sharab
ada-e-KHas se ghaalib hua hai nukta-sara
tangi-e-dil ka gila kya ye wo kafir-dil hai
aagahi dam-e-shunidan jis qadar chahe bichhae
hai par-e-sarhad-e-idrak se apna masjud
