Faizabad, Uttar pradesh, India
kuchh nazar aata nahin uske tasawwur ke siwa
aae bhi log baiThe bhi uTh bhi khaDe hue
na jab tak koi ham-pyala ho main mai nahin pita
mujhse dariya-nosh ko saqi pilata hai sharab
ye aarzu thi tujhe gul ke ru-ba-ru karte
wahshat-e-dil ne kiya hai wo bayaban paida
ilahi ek dil kis kis ko dun main
KHuda daraaz kare umr charKH-e-nili ki
bandish-e-alfaz jaDne se nigun ke kam nahin
kucha-e-yar mein ho raushni apne dam ki
wahi pasti o bulandi hai zamin ki aatish
kaba o dair mein hai kis ke liye dil jata
saKHti-e-rah khinchiye manzil ke shauq mein
bastiyan hi bastiyan hain gumbad-e-aflak mein
mast hathi hai teri chashm-e-siyah-mast ai yar
