Deoria, Uttar pradesh, India
lab pe aish-e-ahd-e-mazi ka hai afsana hanuz
rah-e-ulfat mein yun to kaba-o-but-KHana aata hai
maut han bar-haq hai lekin zindagi fani kahan
zist ke aasar ruKHsat hain mohabbat dil mein hai
ye kaun mane ki na-ashna-e-raaz hai tu
har-qadam par shauq-e-manzil ki farawani to hai
har gham ko yun to zabt kiye ja raha hun main
hijr ka gham bhi nahin wasl ki parwa bhi nahin
KHair se zist ka ai kash ho anjam abhi
ranj kyun ai mah-e-kanan kijiye
be-KHudi ab to sab pe chhai hai
payam-e-yas na de ai nigah-e-yar mujhe
rah-e-wafa mein luTa gaya dil
har taraf shor hai mani chaman-arai hai
ishq hai gham jo sikhata hai fana ho jaana
