Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
mera KHush-KHiram bala ka tez-KHiram tha
wo hum nahin the to phir kaun tha sar-e-bazar
zamana ho gaya KHud se mujhe laDte-jhagaDte
wahi hai KHwab jise mil ke sab ne dekha tha
dayar-e-nur mein tira-shabon ka sathi ho
wafa ke bab mein kar-e-suKHan tamam hua
dil ke mabud jabinon ke KHudai se alag
rind masjid mein gae to ungliyan uThne lagin
munhadim hota chala jata hai dil sal-ba-sal
azab-e-wahshat-e-jaan ka sila na mange koi
rang se KHushbuon ka nata TuTta jata hai
jo Dubti jati hai wo kashti bhi hai meri
shikam ki aag liye phir rahi hai shahr-ba-shahr
bahut mushkil zamanon mein bhi hum ahl-e-mohabbat
tum se bichhaD kar zinda hain
