Balrampur, Uttar pradesh, India
dil ki aag jawani ke ruKHsaron ko dahkae hai
lu ke mausam mein bahaaron ki hawa mangte hain
wufur-e-shauq ki rangin hikayaten mat puchh
KHirad walo junun walon ke viranon mein aa jao
farogh-e-dida-o-dil lala-e-sahar ki tarah
watan se dur yaran-e-watan ki yaad aati hai
aandhiyan chalti rahen aflak tharraate rahe
ab aa gaya hai jahan mein to muskuraata ja
shaikast-e-shauq ko takmil-e-arzu kahiye
yaad aae hain ahd-e-junun ke khoe hue dildar bahut
aae hum ghaalib-o-iqbaal ke naghmat ke baad
zulm ki kuchh miad nahin hai
ishq ka naghma junun ke saz par gate hain hum
sitaron ke payam aae bahaaron ke salam aae
uljhe kanTon se ki khele gul-e-tar se pahle
