Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
ganwa ke dil sa guhar dard-e-sar KHarid liya
mir-e-mahfil na hue garmi-e-mahfil to hue
har sans hai ek naghma har naghma hai mastana
awwal-e-shab wo bazm ki raunaq shama bhi thi parwana bhi
ai jazb-e-mohabbat tu hi bata kyunkar na asar le dil hi to hai
qurbat baDha baDha kar be-KHud bana rahe hain
aaj be-ap ho gae hum bhi
aane mein jhijhak milne mein haya tum aur kahin hum aur kahin
han did ka iqrar agar ho to abhi ho
ras un aankhon ka hai kahne ko zara sa pani
hain des-bides ek guzar aur basar mein
phir chahe to na aana o aan-ban wale
bhole ban kar haal na puchho bahte hain ashk to bahne do
dil de raha tha jo use be-dil bana diya
kuchh maine kahi hai na abhi usne suni hai
