Nagpur, Maharashtra, India
be-KHud-e-shauq hun aata hai KHuda yaad mujhe
ho gai aawaragardi be-ghari ki parda-dar
kashti hai ghaT par tu chale kyun na dur aaj
aati hai yaad subh-e-masarrat ki bar bar
rah-nawardan-e-wafa manzil pe pahunche is tarah
ahl-e-junun pe zulm hai pabandi-e-rusum
aa umr-e-rafta hashr ke dam-KHam bhi dekh len
rasm-e-talab mein kya hai samajh kar uTha qadam
shaiKH jaza-e-kar-e-KHair jo bata raha hai aaj
ai nigah-e-mast us ka nam hai kaif-e-surur
ghul shor kahan ka hai sun to sahi o zalim
sab kuchh mujhe mushkil hai na puchho meri mushkil
dosti kis ki rahi yaad wo kis par bhula
pahli baaten hain na pahle ki mulaqaten hain
tum aise achchhe ki achchhe nahin kisi ke sath
