Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
KHuda asar se bachae is aastane ko
bijliyan TuT paDin jab wo muqabil se uTha
shabab-e-hosh ki fil-jumla yaadgar hui
bedad ke KHugar the fariyaad to kya karte
mohtaj-e-ajal kyun hai KHud apni qaza ho ja
qissa-e-zist muKHtasar karte
ai maut tujh pe umr-e-abad ka madar hai
hasil-e-ilm-e-bashar jahl ka irfan hona
kya chhupate kisi se haal apna
dil aur dil mein yaad kisi KHush-KHiram ki
mar kar tere KHayal ko Tale hue to hain
qatra dariya-e-ashnai hai
ki wafa yar se ek ek jafa ke badle
mere lab par koi dua hi nahin
kucha-e-jaanan mein ja nikle jo ghilman bhul kar
