Shikohabad, Uttar pradesh, India
aashiq bana ke hum ko jalate hain shama-ru
karte hain masjidon mein shikwa-e-mastan zahid
saKHti-e-dahr hue bahr-e-suKHan mein aasan
hamesha mai-kade mein KHush-qadon ka majma hai
jaan kar us but ka ghar kaba ko sajda kar liya
yaad us but ki namazon mein jo aai mujhko
silsila gabru musalman ki adawat ka miTa
kis tarah KHush hon sham ko wo chand dekh kar
huzur-e-duKHtar-e-raz hath panw kanpte hain
jaan deta hun magar aati nahin
barhaman kabe mein aaya shaiKH pahuncha dair mein
maston mein phuT paD gai aate hi yar ke
karta raha lughat ki tahqiq umr bhar
mahrum hun main KHidmat-e-ustad se munir
garmi mein tere kucha-nashinon ke waste
