Delhi, India
go siyah-baKHt hun par yar lubha leta hai
hathon ko uTha jaan se aaKHir ko rahunga
jun zarra nahin ek jagah KHak-nashin hum
dil ishq-e-KHush-qadan mein jo KHwahan-e-nala tha
KHuda ke waste chehre se Tuk naqab uTha
zulf chhuTti tere ruKH par to dil apna phirta
talab mein bose ki kya hai hujjat sawal digar jawab digar
hum phaDak kar toDte sari qafas ki tiliyan
dekh tu yar-e-baada-kash! maine bhi kaam kya kiya
dil mein hai kya jaaniye kis ka KHayal-e-naqsh-e-pa
jab talak charb na jun sham-e-zaban kijiyega
nikhat-e-gul hain ya saba hain hum
pamal-e-rah-e-ishq hain KHilqat ki kha Thokar bhi hum
shab jo ruKH-e-pur-Khaal se wo burqe ko utare sote hain
ek qafila hai bin tere ham-rah safar mein
