Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
husn kafir tha ada qatil thi baaten sehr thin
abhi aate nahin us rind ko aadab-e-mai-KHana
wo tabassum hai ki ghaalib ki tarah-dar ghazal
jahan mein ho gai na-haq teri jafa badnam
sahil ke sukun se kise inkar hai lekin
jo tere dar se uTha phir wo kahin ka na raha
ab dhanak ke rang bhi un ko bhale lagte nahin
hum jis ke ho gae wo hamara na ho saka
kuchh to hai waise hi rangin lab o ruKHsar ki baat
ye kya ghazab hai jo kal tak sitam-rasida the
aati hai dhaar un ke karam se shuur mein
bastiyan kuchh huin viran to matam kaisa
log mange ke ujale se hain aise marub
hasti ke bhayanak nazzare sath apne chale hain duniya se
tumhaari maslahat achchhi ki apna ye junun behtar
