Banaras, Uttar pradesh, India
na bosa lene dete hain na lagte hain gale mere
masal sach hai bashar ki qadar neamat baad hoti hai
qabr mein rahat se soe the na tha mahshar ka KHauf
kisi pahlu nahin aaram aata tere aashiq ko
abhi to aae ho jaldi kahan hai jaane ki
mar gae hum par na aae tum KHabar ko ai sanam
ye kah do bas maut se ho ruKHsat kyun nahaq aai hai uski shamat
ye chaar din ke tamashe hain aah duniya ke
chhani kahan na KHak na paya kahin tumhein
ruKH-e-raushan pe uski gesu-e-shab-gun laTakte hain
ai rasa jaisa hai bargashta zamana humse
aa jae na dil aap ka bhi aur kisi par
jahan dekho wahan maujud mera kirshn pyara hai
kis gul ke tasawwur mein hai ai lala jigar-KHun
but-e-kafir jo tu mujhse KHafa ho
