Shikohabad, Uttar pradesh, India
tirchhi nazar se dekhiye talwar chal gai
aur mujh sa jaan dene ka tamannai nahin
halqa halqa ghar bana laKHt-e-dil-e-betab ka
nazuk aisa nahin kisi ka peT
taswir-e-zulf-o-ariz-e-gulfam le gaya
kabe se mujhko lae sawad-e-kunisht mein
KHaksari se jo ghafil dil-e-ghammaz hua
sabit raha falak mere nalon ke samne
haal-e-poshida khula saman-e-ibrat dekh kar
aks-e-ruKH-e-gulgun se tamasha nazar aaya
jalson mein guzarne lagi phir raat tumhaari
karta hai bagh-e-dahr mein nairangiyan basant
be-waqt jo ghar se wo masiha nikal aaya
tere hathon se miTega naqsh-e-hasti ek din
KHuban-e-fusun-gar se hum uljha nahin karte
