Shamli, Uttar pradesh, India
log yun dekh ke hans dete hain
husn ko duniya ki aankhon se na dekh
ba-juz uske ehsan ko kya samajhiye
kuchh apne saz-e-nafas ki na qadr ki tu ne
shorish-e-ishq mein hai husn barabar ka sharik
marne wale fana bhi parda hai
kaun deta hai mohabbat ko parastish ka maqam
dil ki shaguftagi ke sath rahat-e-mai-kada gai
zaKHm pe zaKHm kha ke ji apne lahu ke ghunT pi
KHak se sainkaDon uge KHurshid
main hairan hun ki kyun us se hui thi dosti apni
kis kis ki zaban rokne jaun teri KHatir
main jis raftar se tufan ki jaanib baDhta jata hun
maqsad-e-zist gham-e-ishq hai sahra ho ki shahr
tum sada-mizaji se miTe phirte ho jis par
