Aza (pain) mein behtey thhe ansoo, yaha lahoo to nahi
Yeh koi aur jagah hogi, Lakhnau to nahi
Yahan to chalti hain chhuriyan zubaan se pehle
yeh Mir Anis ki, Aatish ki guftagu (conversation) to nahin
Tapak raha hai jo zakhmon se dono firqon ke (firqon --sects)
baghaur dekho yeh Islam ka lahu to nahin
tum iska rakh lo koi aur naam mauzoo (more apt/suitable) sa
kiya hai khoon se jo tumney wo wazu to nahin
bujha rahe hain jis ko aap apne daman se
kahin wo aap hi ki shama-e-arzoo to nahin
Samajh ke maal mera jisko tumney loota hai
Padosiyon! Wo tumhari hi abroo to nahin
--Kaifi Azmi
Khuda aabad rakhe Lakhnau phir bhi ghanimat hai,
nazar koi na koi achchi surat aa hi jaati hai
--
Mujhse subah-shaam shikwa kar raha hai Lakhnau
Dekh kaise dheere dheere mar raha hai Lakhnau
-- Waali Aasi
Lakhnau aaj bhi tehzeeb ka gehwara hai
rang gehre hi kiye sheher-e-hina ne mere
--Nizami
