Delhi, India
shama san shab ke mehman hain hum
mil gae apne yar se ab ki
dil bichhaD kar jo chala us but-e-maghrur talak
dil KHuda jaane kis ke pas raha
dil gham se tere laga gae hum
bas ki chun badr-zamana ye ghaTata hai mujhe
teri madad se tera idrak ho sake hai
jaan-o-dil hain udas se mere
wasl ka aish kahan par gham-e-hijran to hai
hum na hanste hain aur na rote hain
ghair ko tum na aankh bhar dekho
itne aansu to na the dida-e-tar ke aage
dekh darwaze se mujhko wo pari-ru haT gai
kyun rang-e-surKH tera ab zard ho gaya hai
nazar karo wahdat o kasrat baham shamil hain shishe mein
