Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
na jaane kitni shaMein gul huin kitne bujhe tare
ab aur is ke siwa chahte ho kya mulla
mulla bana diya hai ise bhi mahaz-e-jang
aaina-e-rangin jigar kuchh bhi nahin kya
tum jis ko samajhte ho ki hai husn tumhaara
mohabbat farq kho deti hai aala aur adna ka
dayar-e-ishq hai ye zarf-e-dil ki jaanch hoti hai
had-e-takmil ko pahunchi teri ranai-e-husn
jis ke KHayal mein hun gum usko bhi kuchh KHayal hai
ashk-e-gham-e-ulfat mein ek raaz-e-nihani hai
wo kaun hain jinhen tauba ki mil gai fursat
us ek nazar ke bazm mein qisse bane hazar
muKHtasar apni hadis-e-zist ye hai ishq mein
mujhe kar ke chup koi kahta hai hans kar
KHun-e-jigar ke qatre aur ashk ban ke Tapken
