Azamgarh, Uttar pradesh, India
fareb tha aql-o-agahi ka ki meri fikr-o-nazar ka dhoka
is dil ko kya kahen ki jidhar tha udhar na tha
kya ishq ka len nam hawas aam nahin hai
ba-qadr-e-hausla koi kahin koi kahin tak hai
duniya duniya sair safar thi shauq ki rah tamam hui
ahd-e-wafa subuk-hawa rang-e-wafa ke sath sath
dil ki bisat pe shah payaade kitni bar utaroge
jurm-e-izhaar-e-tamanna aankh ke sar aa gaya
chahat ji ka rog hai pyare ji ko rok lagao kyun
nikhra KHizan se rang-e-bahaaran hai in dinon
haal-e-dil kuchh jo sar-e-bazm kaha hai maine
kar-e-wahshat mein bhi majbur hai insan ab tak
ho dil-lagi mein bhi dil ki lagi to achchha hai
tujhe main milun to kahan milun mera tujhse rabt muhaal hai
tere shaida bhi hue ishq-e-tamasha bhi hue
