Manikpur, Uttar pradesh, India
nigah barq nahin chehra aaftab nahin
ye kahna us se ai qasid jo mahw-e-KHud-parasti hai
qafas mein ashk-e-hasrat par madar-e-zindagani hai
ye kah gaya but-e-na-ashna suna ke mujhe
baiTh ja kar sar-e-mimbar waiz
muft mein toD ke rakh di meri tauba tu ne
marne wale KHub chhuTe gardish-e-ayyam se
hae dam bhar bhi dil Thahar na saka
ada ada teri mauj-e-sharab ho ke rahi
bin tere kya karun jahan le kar
ishq ab meri jaan hai goya
bahaaren luTa din jawani luTa di
meri taraf se ye be-KHayali na jaane un ko KHayal kya hai
didar ki hawas hai na shauq-e-visal hai
kahan hum aur kahan ab sharab-KHana-e-ishq
