Rampur, Uttar pradesh, India
jab kaho kyun ho KHafa kya bais
maine kaha ki da۔awa-e-ulfat magar ghalat
aashiq-e-haq hain hamin shikwa-e-taqdir nahin
qazi ke munh pe mari hai botal sharab ki
kabhi KHun hoti hue aur kabhi jalte dekha
ye kis zohra-jabin ki anjuman mein aamad aamad hai
ek hai jab marja-e-islam-o-kufr
afsana-e-majnun se nahin kam mera qissa
jab tera nam suna to nazar aaya goya
kam samajhte nahin hum KHuld se maiKHane ko
aa jae agar hukm falak se nazim
surat wo pahli ki ho magar mah-e-tamam
uljhe jo raqib se wo kal pi ke sharab
aashiq jo hua hai tu kisi par nagah
gar aql-o-shuur ki rasai hoti
