Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
ye shirin rag mere hafize ko jagmagata hai
hai gham-e-rozgar ka mauzua
faza umDi hui hai ek chhalakte jam ki manind
nasim, phulon ki raunaq, khile hue tare
phuwar, abr, parindon ke git, mast hawa
aah! marg-e-arzu ka majra ab kya kahun
teri nazuk aur lanbi ungliyan
hamesha jagte hi jagte sahar kar di
har taraf ek be-hijabi hai
nashsha-e-KHwab mein madhosh hai sari duniya
mohabbat! ai ki tu dewi hai gham ki roe ja
fughan-e-gham surud-e-anjumin malum hoti hai
mutriba jab sada-e-saz ke sath
kis qayamat ke lamhe the aKHtar
husn ki dastan bana Dala
