Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
kabhi daman-e-dil par dagh-e-mayusi nahin aaya
mujhse afsurda na ai josh-e-bahaaran hona
qaid mein bhi hai junun dast-o-gareban humse
ek duniya mast ek aalam KHarab
mere muqaddar mein jo likha tha nasib se wo pahunch na paya
mohabbat-ashna dil mazhab-o-millat ko kya jaane
meri jaanib se un ke dil mein kis shikwe pe kina hai
dil hai kis ka jis mein arman aap ka rahta nahin
do aalam se guzar ke bhi dil-e-ashiq hai aawara
mar mar ke agar sham to ro ro ke sahar ki
