Delhi, India
hum bhi jaras ki tarah to is qafile ke sath
band ahkaam-e-aql mein rahna
ghafil KHuda ki yaad pe mat bhul zinhaar
kamar KHamida nahin be-sabab zaifi mein
dard kuchh malum hai ye log sab
hum tujhse kis hawas ki falak justuju karen
tujhi ko jo yan jalwa-farma na dekha
ya-rab ye kya tilism hai idrak-o-fahm yan
dard ke milne se ai yar bura kyun mana
sair-e-bahaar-e-bagh se hum ko muaf kijiye
un labon ne na ki masihai
tar-damani pe shaiKH hamari na jaiyo
ek iman hai bisat apni
hai ghalat gar guman mein kuchh hai
qasid nahin ye kaam tera apni rah le
