Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
gale laga ke kiya nazr-e-shoala-e-atish
tu ne pheri lakh narmi se nazar
ishq mein wo bhi ek waqt hai jab
dil-e-betab ka andaz-e-bayan hai warna
nizam-e-mai-kada saqi badalne ki zarurat hai
KHuda jaane dua thi ya shikayat lab pe bismil ke
husn ke jalwe nahin muhtaj-e-chashm-e-arzu
gham-e-hayat sharik-e-gham-e-mohabbat hai
main faqat insan hun hindu musalman kuchh nahin
nazar jis ki taraf kar ke nigahen pher lete ho
wo kaun hain jinhen tauba ki mil gai fursat
mulla bana diya hai ise bhi mahaz-e-jang
har ek surat pe dhoka kha rahi hain teri surat ka
kahne ko lafz do hain ummid aur hasrat
had-e-takmil ko pahunchi teri ranai-e-husn
