Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
wae ghurbat ki hue jis ke liye KHana-KHarab
phir chahe to na aana o aan ban wale
kah ke ye aur kuchh kaha na gaya
aarzu jam lo jhijak kaisi
ek dil patthar bane aur ek dil ban jae mom
jawab dene ke badle wo shakl dekhte hain
har nafas ek sharab ka ho ghunT
misal-e-shama apni aag mein kya aap jal jaun
mohabbat wahin tak hai sachchi mohabbat
allah allah husn ki ye parda-dari dekhiye
hosh-o-be-hoshi ki manzil ek hai raste juda
kis ne bhige hue baalon se ye jhaTka pani
khilna kahin chhupa bhi hai chahat ke phul ka
jitne husn-abaad mein pahonche hosh-o-KHirad kho kar pahonche
josh-e-junun mein wo tere wahshi ka chiKHna
