Banaras, Uttar pradesh, India
ek husn-e-tasawwur hai jo zist ka sathi hai
wafa nazar nahin aati kahin zamane mein
wo baat hafiz ab nahin milti kisi shai mein
ishq mein marka-e-qalb-o-nazar kya kahiye
dushmanon ki jafa ka KHauf nahin
ye kis maqam pe lai hai zindagi hum ko
kabhi KHirad kabhi diwangi ne luT liya
kis munh se karen un ke taghaful ki shikayat
kuchh is ke sanwar jaane ki tadbir nahin hai
hisar-e-zat ke diwar-o-dar mein qaid rahe
chale chaliye ki chalna hi dalil-e-kaamrani hai
sabhi ke dip sundar hain hamare kya tumhaare kya
mile fursat to sun lena kisi din
us se baDh kar kiya milega aur inam-e-junun
tadbir ke dast-e-rangin se taqdir daraKHshan hoti hai
