Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
be-qararon ko kab qarar aaya
apni pursish jo ho arbab-e-wafa se pahle
shohrat hai meri suKHan-wari ki
KHun bahane ka bahana hai bhala mere baad
na gul na sarw miyan-e-bahaar hota hai
KHun-e-ushshaq ka uTha biDa
kaba ka aur KHana-e-dil ka ye haal hai
chashm-e-baatin mein se jab zahir ka parda uTh gaya
gale mein apne pahna hai jo tu ne ai but-e-kafir
kya ghair kya aziz koi nauhagar na ho
