Maunath Bhanjan, Uttar pradesh, India
aisi tanhai hai apne se bhi ghabraata hun main
aankhon mein ashk bhar ke mujhse nazar mila ke
tere dayar mein koi gham-ashna to nahin
nind aa gai thi manzil-e-irfan se guzar ke
gulon ki chah mein tauhin-e-barg-o-bar na kar
masti-e-gam bhi thi ghaflat-e-anjam ke sath
hai KHamosh aansuon mein bhi nashat-e-kaamrani
hai wahi marka-e-neki-o-shar mere baad
ham-safar gum raste na-paid ghabraata hun main
manzil-e-dil mili kahan KHatm-e-safar ke baad bhi
zarra-e-na-tapida ki KHwahish-e-aftab kya
ghair puchhen bhi to hum kya apna afsana kahen
junun se rah-e-KHirad mein bhi kaam lena tha
ek aah-e-zer-e-lab ke gunahgar ho gae
barham-zan-e-shiraaza-e-ayyam hamin hain
