Aligarh, Uttar pradesh, India
lahad aur hashr mein ye farq kam pae nahin jate
chhoD kar ghar-bar apna hasrat-e-didar mein
isMein koi fareb to ai aasman nahin
shaiKH aaKHir ye surahi hai koi KHum to nahin
donon hain un ke hijr ka hasil liye hue
mujhe baghban se gila ye hai ki chaman se be-KHabari rahi
dil agar hota to mil jata nishan-e-arzu
kaun se the wo tumhaare ahd jo TuTe na the
haTi zulf un ke chehre se magar aahista aahista
agar chhuTa bhi us se aaina-KHana to kya hoga
kab mera nasheman ahl-e-chaman gulshan mein gawara karte hain
kabhi kaha na kisi se tere fasane ko
musa samjhe the arman nikal jaega
bala se ho sham ki siyahi kahin to manzil meri milegi
aah ko samjhe ho kya dil se agar ho jaegi
