Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
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
kah raha hai shor-e-dariya se samundar ka sukut
aazadiyon ka haq na ada humse ho saka
mai-kasho mai ki kami beshi pe nahaq josh hai
un ke lab par zikr aaya be-hijabana mera
ai shama tujh pe raat ye bhaari hai jis tarah
ek dagh-e-dil ne mujhko diye be-shumar dagh
ibtida se aaj tak natiq ki ye hai sarguzisht
dil rahe ya na rahe zaKHm bhare ya na bhare
