Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
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
samajhta hun main sab kuchh sirf samjhana nahin aata
aarzu ko ruh mein gham ban ke rahna aa gaya
roe baghair chaara na rone ki tab hai
rang o bu mein Dube rahte the hawas
isMein koi mera sharik nahin
dil-e-fasurda mein kuchh soz o saz baqi hai
apni ujDi hui duniya ki kahani hun main
ai soz-e-jaan-gudaz abhi main jawan hun
meri KHabar to kisi ko nahin magar aKHtar
us se puchhe koi chahat ke maze
