Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
mohabbat karne walon ke bahaar-afroz sinon mein
ye hasin fitrat ke husn ka anila-pan
bahaar aai zamana hua KHarabaati
samajhta hun main sab kuchh sirf samjhana nahin aata
aarzu ko ruh mein gham ban ke rahna aa gaya
yaad-e-mazi azab hai ya-rab
koi maal-e-mohabbat mujhe batao nahin
koi roe to main be-wajh KHud bhi rone lagta hun
mila ke qatra-e-shabnam mein rang o nikhat-e-gul
shabab-e-dard meri zindagi ki subh sahi
hargiz nahin jine se dil-e-zar KHafa
ek tir kaleje mein piroya humne
taqdir-e-azal aah to bharti hogi
sote mein koi aah bhari to hogi
sanson mein liye karb-o-bala jita hun
gulshan-e-arzu ki did ke baad
halki halki phuwar ke dauran mein
ek sabr-azma judai hai
idhar dimagh hain sakit dilon ko sakta hai
sach to ye hai jahan mein mere baad
