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