Badayun, Uttar pradesh, India
un ko dimagh-e-pursish-e-ahl-e-mehan kahan
yunhi raha jo buton par nisar dil mera
sath sath ahl-e-tamanna ka wo muztar jaana
dard-e-dil mein kami na ho jae
hasil us mah-laqa ki did nahin
payam le ke jo paigham-bar rawana hua
is bazm mein na hosh rahega zara mujhe
nale mein kabhi asar na aaya
hashr par wada-e-didar hai kis ka tera
kyun main ab qabil-e-jafa na raha
hain wasl mein shoKHi se paband-e-haya aankhen
shikwa sun kar jo mizaj-e-but-e-bad-KHu badla
kabhi haya unhen aai kabhi ghurur aaya
jis mein sauda nahin wo sar hi nahin
kyun mera haal qissa-KHwan se suno
