Banaras, Uttar pradesh, India
sharar-e-ishq sadiyon ka safar karta hua
wo KHwab talabgar-e-tamasha bhi nahin hai
kuchh talluq bhi nahin rasm-e-jahan se aage
apni ana se bar-sar-e-paikar main hi tha
nai zamin nae aasman sanwarte rahen
main bujh gaya to kaun ujalega tera rup
kahte hain ki uThne ko hai ab rasm-e-mohabbat
kyun baam pe aawazon ka dhammal hai ajmal
yun KHush na ho ai shahr-e-nigaran ke dar o baam
