Maunath Bhanjan, Uttar pradesh, India
pi to lun aankhon mein umDe hue aansu lekin
ye dushmani hai saqi ya dosti hai saqi
lazzat-e-dard mili ishrat-e-ehsas mili
mere hath suljha hi lenge kisi din
hijr ki raat ye har Dubte tare ne kaha
ghazab hua ki in aankhon mein ashk bhar aae
dil mein jo dard hai wo nigahon se hai ayan
dil ka lahu nigah se Tapka hai bar-ha
hum ahl-e-dil ne meayar-e-mohabbat bhi badal Dale
shauq-e-manzil ham-safar hai jazba-e-dil rahbar
ab na wo shorish-e-raftar na wo josh-e-junun
dayar-e-sajda mein taqlid ka riwaj bhi hai
ab dard mein wo kaifiyat-e-dard nahin hai
jab kabhi dekha hai ai zaidi nigah-e-ghaur se
nazzara-e-jamal ki fursat kahan mili
