Faizabad, Uttar pradesh, India
dahan par hain un ke guman kaise kaise
dil shahid-e-rah-e-daman na hua tha so hua
ai sanam jis ne tujhe chand si surat di hai
bulbul ko Khaar Khaar-e-dabistan hai in dinon
toD kar tar-e-nigah ka silsila jata raha
maut mangun to rahe aarzu-e-KHwab mujhe
josh-o-KHarosh par hai bahaar-e-chaman hanuz
ya-ali kah kar but-e-pindar toDa chahiye
bazar-e-dahr mein teri manzil kahan na thi
pise dil uski chitwan par hazaron
fareb-e-husn se gabr-o-musalman ka chalan bigDa
mere dil ko shauq-e-fughan nahin mere lab tak aati dua nahin
unnab-e-lab ka apne maza kuchh na puchhiye
dil bahut tang raha karta hai
ghairat-e-mahr rashk-e-mah ho tum
