Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
wufur-e-shauq mein jab bhi kalam karte hain
rasta samundar ka jab ruka hua paya
KHayal o shauq ko jab hum teri taswir karte hain
jo khili chaman mein nai kali to wo jashn-e-saut-o-sada hua
sar par thi kaDi dhup bas itna hi nahin tha
yaqin ho to koi rasta nikalta hai
koi puchhe to na kahna ki abhi zinda hun
shauq jab jurat-e-izhaar se Dar jaega
na sunti hai na kahna chahti hai
badan ko zaKHm karen KHak ko labaada karen
rasm hi nind ki aankhon se uTha di gai kya
nai zamin na koi aasman mangte hain
nahin tha koi sitara tere barabar bhi
tilism-e-koh-e-nida jab bhi TuT jaega
fauj ki aaKHiri saf ho jaun
