Agra, Uttar pradesh, India
aankh se Tapka jo aansu wo sitara ho gaya
shayad jagah nasib ho us gul ke haar mein
subu par jam par shishe pe paimane pe kya guzri
dil ki bisat kya thi nigah-e-jamal mein
idrak KHud-ashna nahin hai
gham mujhe hasrat mujhe wahshat mujhe sauda mujhe
jahan-e-rang-o-bu mein mustaqil taKHliq-e-masti hai
wusaten mahdud hain idrak-e-insan ke liye
nasim-e-subh gulshan mein gulon se khelti hogi
jalwa-gah-e-dil mein marte hi andhera ho gaya
aa apne dil mein meri tamanna liye hue
badan se ruh ruKHsat ho rahi hai
KHud uTh ke hath mere gareban mein aa gae
ab ai be-dard kya is ke liye irshad hota hai
ye kis ne shaKH-e-gul la kar qarib-e-ashiyan rakh di
