Aligarh, Uttar pradesh, India
sadiyon ki shab-e-gham ko sahar humne banaya
aankh tumhaari mast bhi hai aur masti ka paimana bhi
hum aankhon se bhi arz-e-tamanna nahin karte
na kashti hai na fikr-e-na-KHuda hai
dosto durd pilao ki kaDi raat kaTe
hairat se tak raha hai jahan-e-wafa mujhe
nadim-e-dard-e-mohabbat baDa sahaara hai
sawan ki rut aa pahunchi kale baadal chhaenge
dasht mein qais nahin koh pe farhad nahin
raaton ko tasawwur hai un ka aur chupke chupke rona hai
phir rah-e-ishq wahi zad-e-safar mange hai
naghme hawa ne chheDe fitrat ki bansuri mein
gesu ko tere ruKH se baham hone na denge
jo rahin-e-taghayyuraat nahin
yun na rah rah kar hamein tarsaiye
