Banaras, Uttar pradesh, India
sham ke dhundlakon mein Dubta hai yun suraj
kahin bujhti hai dil ki pyas ek do ghunT se anzar
teri zulfon ke sae mein agar ji lun main pal-do-pal
teri shoKH aankhon mein barha kai KHwab dekhe hain pyar ke
main tum se tark-e-talluq ki baat kyun sochun
use dekhne ki thi aarzu mujhe uski thi baDi justuju
wo ghazal ki kitab hai pyare
ganw ke parinde tumko kya pata bideson mein
kisi ne bheja hai KHat pyar aur wafa likh kar
tujhse mil kar bhi udasi nahin jati dil ki
ek uski zat se jab mera etibar uTha
bichhaDte waqt ana darmiyan thi warna
gham ki band muTThi mein ret sa mera jiwan
dur mujhse rahte hain sare gham zamane ke
ashk palkon pe bichhaD kar apni qimat kho gaya
