Banaras, Uttar pradesh, India
wafa nazar nahin aati kahin zamane mein
ye kis maqam pe lai hai zindagi hum ko
ishq mein marka-e-qalb-o-nazar kya kahiye
phul afsurda bulbulen KHamosh
jo pardon mein KHud ko chhupae hue hain
dushmanon ki jafa ka KHauf nahin
har haqiqat hai ek husn hafiz
kabhi KHirad kabhi diwangi ne luT liya
kisi ka ghar jale apna hi ghar lage hai mujhe
us dushman-e-wafa ko dua de raha hun main
maine aabaad kiye kitne hi virane hafiz
kis munh se karen un ke taghaful ki shikayat
ek sita ki rifaqat hai to sab kuchh pas hai
samajh ke aag lagana hamare ghar mein tum
tadbir ke dast-e-rangin se taqdir daraKHshan hoti hai
