Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
kanTon se guzar jata hun daman ko bacha kar
be-piye shaiKH farishta tha magar
jab hua zikr zamane mein mohabbat ka shakil
uTha jo mina-ba-dast saqi rahi na kuchh tab-e-zabt baqi
mujhe chhoD de mere haal par tera kya bharosa hai chaaragar
wo humse dur hote ja rahe hain
kaise kah dun ki mulaqat nahin hoti hai
dil ki barbaadiyon pe nazan hun
khul gaya unki aarzu mein ye raaz
gham ki duniya rahe aabaad shakil
ab to KHushi ka gham hai na gham ki KHushi mujhe
kis se ja kar mangiye dard-e-mohabbat ki dawa
kya hasin KHwab mohabbat ne dikhaya tha hamein
ek shahanshah ne banwa ke hasin taj-mahal
mujhe aa gaya yaqin sa ki yahi hai meri manzil
