Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
KHwab-e-derina se ruKHsat ka sabab puchhte hain
dost kya KHud ko bhi pursish ki ijazat nahin di
wafa ki KHair manata hun bewafai mein bhi
hijr ki dhup mein chhanw jaisi baaten karte hain
wahi pyas hai wahi dasht hai wahi gharana hai
azab ye bhi kisi aur par nahin aaya
koi junun koi sauda na sar mein rakkha jae
thakan to agle safar ke liye bahana tha
KHalq ne ek manzar nahin dekha bahut dinon se
sar-e-baam-e-hijr diya bujha to KHabar hui
koi to phul khilae dua ke lahje mein
azab-e-wahshat-e-jaan ka sila na mange koi
faza mein wahshat-e-sang-o-sinan ke hote hue
shikasta-par junun ko aazmaenge nahin kya
suKHan-e-haq ko fazilat nahin milne wali
