Agra, Uttar pradesh, India
subu par jam par shishe pe paimane pe kya guzri
KHud uTh ke hath mere gareban mein aa gae
nasim-e-subh gulshan mein gulon se khelti hogi
sukun-pazir junun-e-shabab ho na saka
zindan-e-kaenat mein mahsur kar diya
baDi dilchaspiyon se subh-e-sham-e-zindagi hogi
azm-e-fariyaad! unhen ai dil-e-nashad nahin
shayad jagah nasib ho us gul ke haar mein
jahan-e-rang-o-bu mein mustaqil taKHliq-e-masti hai
kho kar teri gali mein dil-e-be-KHabar ko main
ab kya bataun main tere milne se kya mila
jo insan baryab-e-parda-e-asrar ho jae
badan se ruh ruKHsat ho rahi hai
jo umr teri talab mein ganwae jate hain
jis jagah jama tere KHak-nashin hote hain
