Banaras, Uttar pradesh, India
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
ye kah do bas maut se ho ruKHsat kyun nahaq aai hai uski shamat
but-e-kafir jo tu mujhse KHafa ho
ghafil itna husn pe ghurra dhyan kidhar hai tauba kar
gulabi gal par kuchh rang mujhko bhi jamane do
abhi to aae ho jaldi kahan hai jaane ki
kisi pahlu nahin chain aata hai ushshaq ko tere
ruKH-e-raushan pe uski gesu-e-shab-gun laTakte hain
mar gae hum par na aae tum KHabar ko ai sanam
aa jae na dil aap ka bhi aur kisi par
kis gul ke tasawwur mein hai ai lala jigar-KHun
