Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
zabt apna shiar tha na raha
duniya-e-husn-o-ishq mein kis ka zuhur tha
lutf o karam ke putle ho ab qahr o sitam ka nam nahin
tera nigah-e-shauq koi raaz-dan na tha
be-zauq-e-nazar bazm-e-tamasha na rahegi
justuju-e-nashat-e-mubham kya
mizaj-e-dahr mein un ka ishaara pae ja
be-ajal kaam na apna kisi unwan nikla
yun nazm-e-jahan darham-o-barham na hua tha
wadi-e-shauq mein warafta-e-raftar hain hum
rah jae ya bala se ye jaan rah na jae
zindagi jabr hai aur jabr ke aasar nahin
duniya meri bala jaane mahngi hai ya sasti hai
shauq se nakaami ki badaulat kucha-e-dil hi chhuT gaya
KHud masiha KHud hi qatil hain to wo bhi kya karen
