Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
ulfat-e-ariz-e-laila mein pareshan nikla
sar-o-gardan ki judai dekho
aaKHir na chali koi bhi tadbir hamari
na falak hoga na ye kucha-e-qatil hoga
nuh ka tufan ek aansu se barpa kijiye
ho chuka jo ki muqaddar mein tha darman hona
myan se tera agar KHanjar nikal kar rah gaya
kahna na mana kucha-e-qatil mein rah gaya
kisi hasrat-zada ne KHud-kushi manzur ki dil se
duniya-e-gham ko zer-o-zabar kar sake to kar
achchha hua ye waqt to aana zarur tha
ghir ke ghabraate na the hijr ke aazaron mein
dad milti nazar-e-ahl-e-nazar se pahle
lijiye KHatm hua gardish-e-taqdir ka rang
main shama-e-bazm-e-alam-e-imkan kiya gaya
