Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
sadqe tere hote hain suraj bhi sitare bhi
farogh-e-mehr se rindon ka aaKHir kaam kya hoga
ye dil nahin nur ka hai shoala kisi ko is se zarar nahin hai
na qatra kam hai na kafi tamam mai-KHana
hai wahi naz-afrin aaina-e-niyaz mein
KHun-e-dil ka jo kuchh ashkon se pata milta hai
kabhi daman-e-dil par dagh-e-mayusi nahin aaya
partaw-e-nur bhi hai jauhar-e-tanwir bhi hai
mujhse afsurda na ai josh-e-bahaaran hona
be-dilon ki aabru rah jaegi
