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
bahaar-e-fikr ke jalwe luTa diye humne
gham-e-hayat kahani hai qissa-KHwan hun main
lutf le le ke piye hain qadah-e-gham kya kya
jo dagh ban ke tamanna tamam ho jae
aafaton mein ghir gaya hun zist se be-zar hun
gham-zada hain mubtala-e-dard hain nashad hain
jaan-sapari ke bhi arman zindagi ki aas bhi
sada kuchh aisi mere gosh-e-dil mein aati hai
suna ke apne aish-e-tam ki rudad ke TukDe
kya KHabar thi ek bala-e-na-gahani aaegi
