Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
tirchhi nazar na ho taraf-e-dil to kya karun
chahiyen mujhko nahin zarrin qafas ki putliyan
aag laga di pahle gulon ne bagh mein wo shadabi ki
chalte hain gulshan-e-firdaus mein ghar lete hain
rang jin ke miT gae hain un mein yar aane ko hai
raha karte hain yun ushshaq teri yaad o hasrat mein
tere waste jaan pe khelenge hum ye samai hai dil mein KHuda ki qasam
KHuda-malum kis ki chand se taswir miTTi ki
aalam mein hare honge ashjar jo main roya
uD kar suragh-e-kucha-e-dilbar lagaiye
ishq-e-dahan mein guzri hai kya kuchh na puchhiye
luTate hain wo bagh-e-ishq jae jis ka ji chahe
