Lucknow, Uttar pradesh, India
jafa ki us se shikayat zara nahin aati
tasawwur humne jab tera kiya pesh-e-nazar paya
muddat ke baad munh se lagi hai jo chhuT kar
sad-shukr bujh gai teri talwar ki hawas
shab-e-wada hai tu hai aur main hun
be-bak na dekha koi qatil ke barabar
yaad aa ke teri hijr mein samjhaegi kis ko
pa-shikaston ko jab jab milenge aap
ai musawwir jo meri taswir khinch
na Theri jab koi taskin-e-dil ki shakl yaron mein
kyun wasl mein bhi aankh milai nahin jati
subh ho sham judai ki ye mumkin hi nahin
wo dil nasib hua jis ko dagh bhi na mila
meri shaki hai KHud meri fughan tak
jaane wala iztirab-e-dil nahin
