Deoria, Uttar pradesh, India
be-KHudi ab to sab pe chhai hai
har taraf shor hai mani chaman-arai hai
KHu-e-gham dil ko hai yani his-e-gham kuchh bhi nahin
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
ishq hai gham jo sikhata hai fana ho jaana
payam-e-yas na de ai nigah-e-yar mujhe
har gham ko yun to zabt kiye ja raha hun main
maut han bar-haq hai lekin zindagi fani kahan
hijr ka gham bhi nahin wasl ki parwa bhi nahin
KHair se zist ka ai kash ho anjam abhi
rah-e-wafa mein luTa gaya dil
lab pe aish-e-ahd-e-mazi ka hai afsana hanuz
ranj kyun ai mah-e-kanan kijiye
