Manikpur, Uttar pradesh, India
Dar gaya hai ji kuchh aisa hijr se
dil mein wo bhiD hai ki zara bhi nahin jagah
uTh ai naqab-e-yar ki baiThe hain der se
kuchh na matlab tha na mazmun shauq ke do harf the
main to sunta hun tumhein bhi hai mohabbat mujhse
is qadar mahw-e-tasawwur hun ki shak hota hai
kis qadar tha garm nala bulbul-e-nashad ka
karen tasKHir aao mil ke hum tum donon aalam ko
aate aate aaega un ko KHayal
main jaanta hun hawa dushmanon ne bandhi hai
wo dil le ke KHush hain mujhe ye KHushi hai
ye jo sar niche kiye baiThe hain
ji chahta hai phir koi tujhse karun sawal
waizo chheDo na rindon ko bahut
ab to zahid bhi ye kahta hai baDi chuk hui
