Delhi, India
kya tha ki aaj naqa be-sarban paya
ye dil kuchh aaphi ho jata hai band aur aaphi khulta hai
dosti kis se na thi kis se mujhe pyar na tha
zulm kab tak kijiyega is dil-e-nashad par
chaha tha gharaz maine ishq aise hi dilbar ka
guzri hai raat mujh mein aur dil mein turfa sohbat
aur kuchh tohfa na tha jo late hum tere niyaz
main bhi ek mani-e-pechida ajab tha ki hasan
hum ko bhi dushmani se tere kaam kuchh nahin
jis tarah chaha likhin dil ne kaha yun mat likh
bas ab chaupaD uThao aur kuchh baaten karen sahab
jab lage honge juda hazrat-e-dil humne kaha
ek dam bhi mila na hum ko qarar
apne kahne mein to dil mutlaq nahin kis se kahen
naujawani ki did kar lije
