Bareilly, Uttar pradesh, India
jhalak parde se yun rah rah ke dikhlane se kya hasil
lijiye tabani-e-alam ke saman ho gae
apne hi sajde ka hai shauq mere sar-e-niyaz mein
aah hum hain aur shikasta-paiyan
be-khabar-e-hayat tha gham ne mujhe jaga diya
himala se do do baaten
ishq ko dijiye junun mein farogh
nahin ilaj-e-gham-e-hijr-e-yar kya kije
ye sher mere use suna do
tum nahin pas koi pas nahin
maraz-e-ishq ko shifa samjhe
