Seoni, Madhya Pradesh, India
kuchh din to kar taawun ai KHush-sifat mujhse
rahi raat un se mulaqat kam
agarche aaina-e-dil mein hai qayam us ka
KHwah dil se mujhe na chahe wo
unki surat hamein aai thi pasand aankhon se
TuTa tilism-e-waqt to kya dekhta hun main
chaman mein aap ki tarah gulab ek bhi nahin
mushtaq ba-dastur zamana hai tumhaara
kya be-murawwati ka shikwa gila kisi se
isMein kya shak hai ki aawara hun main
zahr ki chuTki hi mil jae barae dard-e-dil
shak nahin hai hamein us but ke KHuda hone mein
main apne-ap se pichha chhuDa ke
nahin milte shuur aansu bahate
jo jal uThi hai shabistan mein yaad si kya hai
