Karhan, Uttar pradesh, India
sahar ko de ke nai nikhat-e-hayat gai
chaman lahak ke rah gaya ghaTa machal ke rah gai
hujum-e-dard mein KHandan hai kaun mere siwa
qaid-e-gham-e-hayat se hum ko chhuDa liya
gali gali hai andhera to mere sath chalo
hamin the aise sar-phire hamin the aise manchale
samjhe hai mafhum nazar ka dil ka ishaara jaane hai
KHud koi chaak-gareban hai rag-e-jaan ke qarib
pi kar bhi tabiat mein talKHi hai girani hai
bachao daman-e-dil aise ham-nashinon se
jo mil gai hain nigahen kabhi nigahon se
mana ki sai-e-ishq ka anjam-kar kya
sharab o sher ke sanche mein Dhal ke aai hai
zulmat-gah-e-dauran mein subh-e-chaman-e-dil hun
kaun hai dard-ashna sang-dili ka daur hai
