Fatehpur, Uttar pradesh, India
gul-e-KHush-numa ke libas mein ki shua-e-nur mein Dhal ke aa
na-fahm kahun main use aisa bhi nahin hai
wo bewafa hi sahi usko bewafa na kaho
gham hai kanTon ka na andesha bayabanon ka
saqi ki nigahon ka paigham nahin aata
sar-e-taslim KHam karna paDa taqsir se pahle
jo kaif-e-ishq se Khaali ho zindagi kiya hai
maza shabab ka jab hai ki ba-KHuda bhi rahe
wusat-e-kaun-o-makan mein wo samate bhi nahin
zaban KHamosh rahe tark-e-muddaa na kare
itne chup kyun ho majra kya hai
fasana-e-sitam-e-kaenat kahte hain
gul yaad na amwaj-e-nasim-e-sahari yaad
dam-e-tamir taKHrib-e-jahan kuchh aur kahti hai
rah-e-dushwar mein chalna sikho
