Bulandshahar, Uttar pradesh, India
dil mein ab aawaz kahan hai
ai nigah-e-dost ye kya ho gaya kya kar diya
fursat-e-aghi bhi di lazzat-e-be-KHudi bhi di
kis qayamat ki ghaTa chhai hai
wo hans hans ke wade kiye ja rahe hain
agar fitrat ka har andaz bebakana ho jae
yusufi gar nahin mumkin to zuleKHai kar
saqi ki nawazish ne to aur aag laga di
har nafas mein dil ki betabi baDhate jaiye
chashm-e-nam par muskura kar chal diye
kisi ki be-ruKHi ka gham nahin hai
mana maqam-e-ishrat-e-hasti buland hai
ab is tarah sitam-e-rozgar hota hai
kuchh is tarah nigah se izhaar kar gae
unki KHushi yahi hai to achchha yunhi sahi
