Banaras, Uttar pradesh, India
phir mujhe likhna jo wasf-e-ru-e-jaanan ho gaya
baal bikhere aaj pari turbat par mere aaegi
baiThe jo sham se tere dar pe sahar hui
dil mera tir-e-sitam-gar ka nishana ho gaya
fasad-e-duniya miTa chuke hain husul-e-hasti miTa chuke hain
masal sach hai bashar ki qadar neamat baad hoti hai
kisi pahlu nahin aaram aata tere aashiq ko
na bosa lene dete hain na lagte hain gale mere
qabr mein rahat se soe the na tha mahshar ka KHauf
ho gaya laghar jo us laila-ada ke ishq mein
baKHt ne phir mujhe is sal khilai holi
rahmat ka tere ummid-war aaya hun
