Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
ya-rab teri rahmat se mayus nahin fani
bahla na dil na tirgi-e-sham-e-gham gai
tark-e-ummid bas ki baat nahin
na ibtida ki KHabar hai na intiha malum
ruh arbab-e-mohabbat ki laraz jati hai
ya tere muhtaj hain ai KHun-e-dil
aankh uThai hi thi ki khai choT
sune jate na the tum se mere din raat ke shikwe
kuchh kaTi himmat-e-sawal mein umr
main so gaya to zamane ki khul gain aankhen
kashti-e-etibar toD ke dekh
dil ka ujaDna sahl sahi basna sahl nahin zalim
mar ke TuTa hai kahin silsila-e-qaid-e-hayat
ab nae sur se chheD parda-e-saz
bimar tere ji se guzar jaen to achchha
