Fatehpur, Uttar pradesh, India
hamein tanhaiyon mein yun to kya kya yaad aata hai
sahar ab hoga mera zikr bhi raushan-dimaghon mein
be-rabti-e-hayat ka manzar bhi dekh le
rah-e-ishq-o-wafa bhi kucha-o-bazar ho jaise
takmil-e-arzu se bhi hota hai gham kabhi
ishq ko husn ke atwar se kya nisbat hai
phir khule ibtida-e-ishq ke bab
ishq ke mazmun the jin mein wo risale kya hue
gham-e-habib nahin kuchh gham-e-jahan se alag
marzi KHuda ki kya hai koi jaanta nahin
bala-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamasha chhoD di maine
barq se khelne tufan pe hansne wale
hindu se puchhiye na musalman se puchhiye
hosh-mandi se jahan baat na banti ho sahar
