Delhi, India
baadal umDe hain dhuan-dhaar ghaTa chhai hai
qismat bure kisi ke na is tarah lae din
sare ushshaq se hum achchhe hain
saqiya kis ko hawas hai ki piyo aur pilao
lab-e-saghar se sun lo zahido taqrir-e-mai-KHana
surat-e-haal ab to wo naqsh-e-KHayali ho gaya
lutf ho hashr mein kuchh baat banae na bane
ek tilism-e-ajab-numa hun main
ban-sanwar kar ho jo wo jalwa-numa koThe par
ya ilahi mujhko ye kya ho gaya
aah wo shoala hai jo ji ko bujha ke uTThe
pani pani ho gaya josh abr-e-dariya-bar ka
ishq hi ishq ho aashiq ho na mashuq jahan
husn-e-azal ka jalwa hamari nazar mein hai
wasl ki un buton se aas nahin
