Nagpur, Maharashtra, India
wasf-e-jamal-e-zauq hai ahl-e-nigah ka
bhag ki manzil-e-qarar umr ki rahguzar nahin
rindan-e-baada-nosh ki chhagal uTha to la
bazm-e-duniya jis ko kahte hain wo pagal-KHana tha
rind ki kaenat kya hai KHak
sard ho jati hai fikr-e-jah-e-duniya jis ke baad
jo sunte hain to main mamnun hun unki inayat ka
KHirad-amoz hasti hai magar ab kya kahun wo bhi
dekhta rahta hun aksar sham-e-qudrat dekh kar
kya irade hain wahshat-e-dil ke
aaj mai-KHane mein barkat hi sahi
mahfil-e-naz se main ho ke pareshan uTha
aalam-e-kaun-o-makan nam hai virane ka
zahir na tha nahin sahi lekin zuhur tha
aa ke bazm-e-hasti mein kya bataen kya paya
