Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
main jo ye aashiyan banata hun
jise DhunDa use paya use tadbir kahte hain
mere muqaddar mein jo likha tha nasib se wo pahunch na paya
qaid mein bhi hai junun dast-o-gareban humse
daraaz itna meri qaid ka zamana tha
ai shamma tujh pe raat ye bhaari hai jis tarah
firaq-e-yar ka KHatra visal-e-yar mein hai
aansuon se KHun ke ajza badalte jaenge
waqt-e-ruKHsat chalte chalte kah gae
dubara dil mein koi inqalab ho na saka
dil ko hua hai ishq mohabbat ke dagh se
jo mere dil mein sahw teri yaad se hua
ek duniya mast ek aalam KHarab
kya bataun dil kahan hai aur kis ja dard hai
tere siwa nigahon mein ai yar kaun hai
