Ballia, Uttar pradesh, India
hama-girya silk-e-shabnam hama-ashk bazm-e-anjum
nazar nazar ko saqi-e-hayat kahte aae hain
dil-o-dilbar sahi ab KHwab se bedar hain donon
rang yahan bahut magar rang se kaam bhi nahin
us dil ki musibat kaun sune jo gham ke muqabil aa jae
haqiqat jis jagah hoti hai tabani batati hai
dhaDkanen dil ki gine KHun mein rawani mange
fikr-e-nau zauq-e-tapan se aai hai
chilman se jo daman ke kinare nikal aae
ye nim-baz teri ankhDiyon ke maiKHane
lamhe uljhan ke qarib aa pahunche
bhulata hun magar gham ki daraKHshani nahin jati
duniya sanwar gai hai nizam-e-digar ke baad
hasrat-e-faisla-e-dard-e-jigar baqi hai
zist milti hai umr-e-fani se
