Shahjahanpur, Uttar pradesh, India
har sans hai sharh-e-nakaami phir ishq ko ruswa kaun kare
kya kahiye dastan-e-tamanna badal gai
jahan tak ishq ki taufiq hai rangin banate hain
tamkin hai aur husn-e-gareban hai aur hum
mai-e-kausar ka asar chashm-e-siyah-fam mein hai
ai ishq tu ne waqif-e-manzil bana diya
mayus-e-azal hun ye mana nakaam-e-tamanna rahna hai
ab koi gham-gusar hamara nahin raha
kucha-gardi mein jawani jaegi
husn ne man liya qabil-e-tazir mujhe
phir etibar-e-ishq ke qabil nahin raha
