Shikohabad, Uttar pradesh, India
tirchhi nazar se dekhiye talwar chal gai
be-waqt jo ghar se wo masiha nikal aaya
taswir-e-zulf-o-ariz-e-gulfam le gaya
tere hathon se miTega naqsh-e-hasti ek din
kabe se mujhko lae sawad-e-kunisht mein
wo zulf hawa se mujhe barham nazar aai
judai ke sadmon ko Tale hue hain
nazuk aisa nahin kisi ka peT
buton ke ghar ki taraf kabe ke safar se phire
halqa halqa ghar bana laKHt-e-dil-e-betab ka
tumhaare ghar se pas-e-marg kis ke ghar jata
rah mein surat-e-naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa rahta hun
shab ke hain mah mehr hain din ke
KHaksari se jo ghafil dil-e-ghammaz hua
jalson mein guzarne lagi phir raat tumhaari
