Delhi, India
gada ko gar qanaat ho to phaTa chithaDa bas hai
kis tarah se guzar karun rah-e-ishq mein
aisa karunga ab ke gareban ko tar tar
holi ke ab bahane chhiDka hai rang kis ne
hasti se ta-adam hai safar do qadam ki rah
shama har sham tere rone par
na kuchh sitam se tere aah aah karta hun
kab ye dil o dimagh hai minnat-e-shama khinchiye
hai abas hatim ye sab mazmun o mani ka talash
aai eid wa dil mein nahin kuchh hawa-e-eid
dard tu mere pas se marte talak na jaiyo
is zamane mein na ho kyunkar hamara dil udas
adl se kar saltanat ai dil tu tan ke mulk mein
rahn-e-sharab-KHana kiya shaiKH haif hai
haq se milna gerwe kapDon upar mauquf nain
