Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
humse mai-kash jo tauba kar baiThen
rahmaton se nibah mein guzri
lamhat-e-yaad-e-yar ko sarf-e-dua na kar
bhej di taswir apni un ko ye likh kar shakil
phir wahi johd-e-musalsal phir wahi fikr-e-maash
sab karishmat-e-tasawwur hain shakil
har chiz nahin hai markaz par ek zarra idhar ek zarra udhar
kabhi yak-ba-yak tawajjoh kabhi dafatan taghaful
kitni dil-kash hain teri taswir ki ranaiyan
wahi karwan wahi raste wahi zindagi wahi marhale
nai subh par nazar hai magar aah ye bhi Dar hai
sitam-nawazi-e-paiham hai ishq ki fitrat
yun to har sham umidon mein guzar jati hai
kafi hai mere dil ki tasalli ko yahi baat
ai mohabbat tere anjam pe rona aaya
