Banaras, Uttar pradesh, India
phir mujhe likhna jo wasf-e-ru-e-jaanan ho gaya
baiThe jo sham se tere dar pe sahar hui
but-e-kafir jo tu mujhse KHafa hai
baal bikhere aaj pari turbat par mere aaegi
dasht-paimai ka gar qasd mukarrar hoga
nind aati hi nahin dhaDke ki bas aawaz se
ghazab hai surma de kar aaj wo bahar nikalte hain
gale mujhko laga lo ai mere dildar holi mein
dil mera tir-e-sitam-gar ka nishana ho gaya
aa gai sar par qaza lo sara saman rah gaya
fasad-e-duniya miTa chuke hain husul-e-hasti miTa chuke hain
jahan dekho wahan maujud mera kirshn pyara hai
ajab jauban hai gul par aamad-e-fasl-e-bahaari hai
dil aatish-e-hijran se jalana nahin achchha
phir aai fasl-e-gul phir zaKHm-e-dil rah rah ke pakte hain
