Manikpur, Uttar pradesh, India
tazkira soz-e-mohabbat ka kiya tha ek bar
chhup ke rahna hai jo sab se to ye mushkil kya hai
ek saudai ek harjai
yun to aati hain saikDon baaten
dil ko apne kya kisi ka ghar kahun
yahi do kaam mohabbat ne diye hain hum ko
sunta hun unki bazm mein chhalkenge aaj jam
qaid-e-sayyaad mein bulbul ka chahakna na gaya
uDati hai wo tegh chadar lahu ki
aise chhupne se na chhupna hi tha behtar tera
dard bikta nahin bazar-e-jahan mein warna
is tarah bhes mein aashiq ke chhupa hai mashuq
ghar hamesha tere aaine ka aabaad rahe
koi fitna na uTha fitna-e-qamat ki tarah
naqab kahti hai main parda-e-qayamat hun
