Banaras, Uttar pradesh, India
aasan nahin marhala-e-tark-e-wafa bhi
kuchh is ke sanwar jaane ki tadbir nahin hai
hisar-e-zat ke diwar-o-dar mein qaid rahe
gumshudgi hi asl mein yaro rah-numai karti hai
chale chaliye ki chalna hi dalil-e-kaamrani hai
us se baDh kar kiya milega aur inam-e-junun
mile fursat to sun lena kisi din
sabhi ke dip sundar hain hamare kya tumhaare kya
ek husn-e-tasawwur hai jo zist ka sathi hai
wo baat hafiz ab nahin milti kisi shai mein
