Karhan, Uttar pradesh, India
KHamosh kis liye baiThe ho chashm-e-tar kyun ho
zahr ko mai dil-e-sad-para ko mina na kaho
un ka wada badal gaya hai
shama par shama jalati hui sath aati hai
dard-shanas dil nahin jalwa-talab nazar nahin
hanso na tum ruKH-e-dushman jo zard hai yaro
anmol sahi nayab sahi be-dam-o-diram bik jate hain
yun tere mast sar-e-rah chala karte hain
ye KHushi gham-e-zamana ka shikar ho na jae
nigar-e-mah-wash o mahbub-e-lala-ru ki tarah
fasla to hai magar koi fasla nahin
gulon pe saya-e-gham-ha-e-rozgar mile
qaid-e-gham-e-hayat se hum ko chhuDa liya
sharab o sher ke sanche mein Dhal ke aai hai
mujhe dair se talluq na haram se aashnai
