Azamgarh, Uttar pradesh, India
man dhan sab qurban kiya ab sar ka sauda baqi hai
shahr ke aabaad sannaTon ki wahshat dekh kar
kya kya na tere shauq mein TuTe hain yahan kufr
hamare dam se hai raushan dayar-e-fikr-o-suKHan
pahle chadar ki hawas mein panw phailae bahut
main ham-nafasan jism hun wo jaan ki tarah tha
khinche hai mujhe dast-e-junun dasht-e-talab mein
phirti thi le ke shorish-e-dil ku-ba-ku hamein
har rang har aahang mere samne aajiz
saman-e-dil ko be-sar-o-samaniyan milin
phir zehn ki galiyon mein sada gunji hai koi
TuT paDti thin ghaTaen jin ki aankhen dekh kar
zulfen idhar khulin adhar aansu umanD paDe
chhalki har mauj-e-badan se husn ki dariya-dili
do kinare hon to sail-e-znidagi dariya bane
