Delhi, India
meri turbat par chaDhane DhunDta hai kis ke phul
rang maila na hua jama-e-uryani ka
dam le ai kohkan ab tesha-zani KHub nahin
na kyun ki ashk-e-musalsal ho rahnuma dil ka
ho chuki bagh mein bahaar afsos
mil baiThne ye de hai falak ek dam kahan
kar ke aazad har ek shahpar-e-bulbul katra
laga jab aks-e-abru dekhne dildar pani mein
main zoaf se jun naqsh-e-qadam uTh nahin sakta
haar bana in para-e-dil ka mang na gajra phulon ka
chashm mein kab ashk bhar late hain hum
maine biThla ke jo pas usko khilaya biDa
kabhu na us ruKH-e-raushan pe chhaiyan dekhin
yan se denge na tumko jaane aaj
jigar ka jun shama kash ya-rab ho dagh raushan murad hasil
