Allahabad, Uttar pradesh, India
na-KHush jo ho gul-badan kisi ka
ruKH-e-raushan dikhaiye sahab
hai chaman mein rahm gulchin ko na kuchh sayyaad ko
saKHi se chhuT kar jaenge ghar aap
yun pareshan kabhi hum bhi to na the
na bachpan mein kaho hum ko kaDi baat
pahlu mein baiTh kar wo pate kya
guftugu ho dabi zaban bahut
zulf-e-shab-rang jo banai hai
inko nafrat ise kya kahte hain
ye to malum ki phir aaiyega
apne qasid ko saba bandhte hain
qasid tere bar bar aae
dil hi mera faqat hai matlab ka
nisbat wahi mah-e-asman se
