Delhi, India
na rah jawe kahin tu zahida mahrum rahmat se
saqiya! yan lag raha hai chal-chalaw
mat ja tar-o-tazgi pe uski
dushmani ne suna na howega
shama ke manind hum is bazm mein
khul nahin sakti hain ab aankhen meri
qatl-e-ashiq kisi mashuq se kuchh dur na tha
jag mein aa kar idhar udhar dekha
zikr mera hi wo karta tha sarihan lekin
tamanna teri hai agar hai tamanna
kash uske ru-ba-ru na karen mujhko hashr mein
nahin shikwa mujhe kuchh bewafai ka teri hargiz
nala fariyaad aah aur zari
main jata hun dil ko tere pas chhoDe
tohmat-e-chand apne zimme dhar chale
