Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
jahan nifaq ke shoale milen bujha ke chalo
shikasta-dil ki KHushi dosto KHushi to na thi
KHadshe the sham-e-hijr ke subh-e-KHushi ke sath
na puchho kaise shab-e-intizar guzri hai
na jis ka koi sahaara ho wo kidhar jae
ghuTi ghuTi si faza mein shaguftagi to mili
naw tufan mein jab zer-o-zabar hoti hai
gah mashq-e-sitam gah-e-karam yaad karenge
ubharte chand sitaron ka tazkira bhi karo
