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