Delhi, India
rakhe hai rang kuchh saqi sharab-e-nab aatish ka
rahe hai ru-kash-e-nishtar har aabla dil ka
har harf-e-arzu pe kare tha wo yar bahas
tere bimar ki shayad wida-e-jaan hai tan se
kal wasl mein bhi nind na aai tamam shab
jo baad-e-marg bhi dil ko rahi kanar mein ja
tujhe kuchh yaad hai pahla wo aalam ishq-e-pinhan ka
jhuki nigah mein hai Dhab pursish-e-nihani ka
kha ke kal ho pech-o-tab uTha jo dil se nala tha
nur-e-mah ko shab tah-e-abr-e-tunak kya laf tha
guman na kyunki karun tujh pe dil churane ka
koi hamdard na hamdam na yagana apna
kab gul hai hawa-KHwah saba apne chaman ka
tujhe naqsh-e-hasti miTaya to dekha
