Delhi, India
jo guzre hai bar aashiq-e-kaamil nahin malum
kuchh sarguzisht kah na sake ru-ba-ru qalam
be-mehr-o-wafa hai wo dil-aram hamara
hua ashk-e-gulgun bahaar-e-gareban
shamim-e-zulf-e-muambar jo ru-e-yar se lun
Tankon se zaKHm-e-pahlu lagta hai kankhajura
be-sabab hath kaTari ko lagana kya tha
dikha do gar mang apni shab ko to hashr barpa ho kahkashan par
bayaban marg hai majnun-e-KHak-aluda-tan kis ka
qadam na rakh meri chashm-e-pur-ab ke ghar mein
KHandan-e-qais ka main to sada se pir hun
tere dant sare safed hain pae-zeb pan se mal kar aa
zulf ka kya uski chaTka lag gaya
is dil ko ham-kanar kiya humne kya kiya
gharq na kar dikhla kar dil ko kan ka baala zulf ka halqa
