Un aankhon ka aalam, ghulabi ghulabi - Hazrat Behzad Lakhnavi

 Ye duz-deeda nazarein, ye raftaar-e-naazuk
Inheen ke badaulat hui hai kharabi


Khuda ke liye apni nazron ko roko
Tamanna bani ja rahi hai jawabi


Hai �Behzad� unki nigah-e-karam par
Meri na-muradi meri kaamayabi

 

~ Hazrat �Behzad� Lucknawi Niyazi R.A.
