Delhi, India
aankhon mein hain haqir jis-tis ke
dil mera aaj mere pas nahin
kyunkar bhala lage na wo dildar dur se
bas gaya jab se yar aankhon mein
jab talak tir tera aawe hai naKHchir talak
aaj dil be-qarar hai kya hai
chashm-e-tar raat mujhko yaad aai
aan kar gham-kada-e-dahr mein jo baiThe hum
wo dilbari ka uski jo kuchh haal hai so hai
daman ko uske khinchen aghyar sab taraf se
bas dil ka ghubar dho chuke hum
aapko usne ab tarasha hai
kya kahen puchh mat kahin hain hum
hum na tanha us gali se jaan ko kho kar uTh gae
na raha gul na Khaar hi aaKHir
