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
mohtaj nahin qafila aawaz-e-dara ka
wahi gul hai gulistan mein wahi hai shama mahfil mein
bar-sar-e-lutf aaj chashm-e-dil-ruba thi main na tha
thi aasman pe meri chaDhai tamam raat
le ke apni zulf ko wo pyare pyare hath mein
apna apna rang dikhlati hain jaani chuDiyan
hum ko hawas-e-jalwa-gah-e-tur nahin hai
hai aaina-KHane mein tera zauq-faza raqs
humne sau sau tarah banai baat
mil jaen azhdaham mein hum hi ye humse dur
