Allahabad, Uttar pradesh, India
tum na aasan ko aasan samho
zindagi tak meri hans lijiye aap
jitenge na humse bazi-e-ishq
Khaal aur ruKH se kis ko dun nisbat
hama-tan ho gae hain aaina
naza ke dam bhi unhen hichki na aaegi kabhi
saKHi baiThiye haT ke kuchh uske dar se
baat karne mein honT laDte hain
kahna majnun se ki kal teri taraf aaunga
shaiKH-ji but ki burai kije
bahut KHwab-e-ghaflat mein din chaDh gaya
kyun hasinon ki aankhon se na laDe
na chhoDa hijr mein bhi KHana-e-tan
dekho qali khulegi saf uski
ruKH hath pe rakkha na karo waqt-e-takallum
