Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
jitna tha sargarm-e-kar utna hi dil nakaam tha
masum nazar ka bhola-pan lalcha ke lubhana kya jaane
taqdir pe shakir rah kar bhi ye kaun kahe tadbir na kar
ai mere zaKHm-e-dil-nawaz gham ko KHushi banae ja
ayan hai be-ruKHi chitwan se aur ghussa nigahon se
yun dur dur dil se ho ho ke dil-nashin bhi
aaram ke the sathi kya kya jab waqt paDa to koi nahin
mujhko dil qismat ne usko husn-e-ghaarat-gar diya
Khaali baiThe kyun din kaTen aao re ji ek kaam karen
pani mein aag dhyan se tere bhaDak gai
kuchh din ki raunaq barson ka jina
baghaur dekh raha hai ada-shanas mujhe
na koi jalwati na koi KHalwati na koi KHas tha na koi aam tha
jo dil sath chhuTne se ghabra raha hai
tumhein kya kaam nalon se tumhein kya kaam aahon se
