Azamgarh, Uttar pradesh, India
nashsha-e-yar ka nasha mat puchh
diwana-e-khirad ho ki majnun-e-ishq ho
dushman-e-jaan hain sabhi sare ke sare qatil
qalb-o-jigar ke dagh farozan kiye hue
ye zulf-e-yar bhi kya bijliyon ka jhurmuT hai
dil ko jalae rakkha hai humne charagh sa
tamam raat tera intizar hota raha
is andhere mein jalte chand charagh
chhalka paDa hai chehron se ek wahshat-e-junun
us ka jalwa dikhai deta hai
tumhaare shahr mein kyun aaj hu ka aalam hai
chashma-e-nab na baDh kar junun sailab bane
jagah bachi hi nahin dil pe choT khane ki
tum na the to yahan pe koi na tha
