Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
gar ho na KHafa to kah dun ji ki
hai mera tar-e-nafas tar-e-qafas
dil aaina hai jauhar-e-aks ru hai
gham mein ahd-e-shabab jata hai
na kuchh takrar tumko hai na kuchh shikwa hamara hai
KHun bahane ka bahana hai bhala mere baad
shohrat hai meri suKHan-wari ki
wufur-e-zof se dil yar par nahin aata
apni pursish jo ho arbab-e-wafa se pahle
mausam-e-gul mein nahin izzat-o-shan-e-waiz
na junun jaega kabhi mera
har gham mein karim hai hamara
