Patna, Bihar, India
wan naqab uTThi ki subh-e-hashr ka manzar khula
qafas-nasibon ko taDpa gai hawa-e-bahaar
husn par firaun ki phabti kahi
maut aai aane dijiye parwa na kijiye
KHuda ki mar wo ayyam-e-shor-o-shar guzre
daman-e-qatil jo uD uD kar hawa dene lage
gar yaad mein saqi ki saghar nazar aa jae
yar hai aaina hai shana hai
KHudaon ki KHudai ho chuki bas
maza gunah ka jab tha ki ba-wazu karte
ghazab ki dhum shabistan-e-rozgar mein hai
baiTha hun panw toD ke tadbir dekhna
kar-gah-e-duniya ki nesti bhi hasti hai
adab ne dil ke taqaze uThae hain kya kya
dil-e-be-tab ko kab wasl ka yara hota
