Bareilly, Uttar pradesh, India
jhalak parde se yun rah rah ke dikhlane se kya hasil
nahin ki chaara-e-dard-e-nihan nahin malum
na KHum-o-subu hue chur abhi na hijab-e-pir-e-mughan uTha
kisi ko dekhte kyun aah rote
nind ke badle tasalli hi sahi aati to hai
teri be-iltifati kya koi kam hoti jati hai
bigDen wo humse ki hum un se sab mein ek lazzat hoti hai
gham sahte sahte muddat tak aisi bhi haalat hoti hai
abhi diwangi mein kuchh kami mahsus hoti hai
apne hi sajde ka hai shauq mere sar-e-niyaz mein
wo mard hai jo kabhi shikwa-e-jafa na kare
KHuda ki shan wo KHud ho rahe hain diwane
nazish-e-gul hua kare koi
KHuda ko bhi nahin dil manta hai
maut jab tak nazar nahin aati
