Delhi, India
rah mein gham-zada-e-ishq ko kya Toko ho
mulk-e-adam se dahr ke matam-kade ke bich
kabhu jo shaiKH dikhaun main apne but ke tain
pagDi apni yahan sambhaal chalo
ishq-bazi bul-hawas bazi na jaan
chand se tujhko jo de nisbat so be-insaf hai
shaiKH uski chashm ke goshe se goshe ho kahin
dar-o-diwar-e-chaman aaj hain KHun se labrez
koi hai surKH-posh koi zard-posh hai
rakhe hai shisha mera sang sath rabt-e-qadim
samajhte hum nahin jo tum ishaaron bich kahte ho
us waqt dil mera tere panje ke bich tha
kya baDa aib hai is jama-e-uryani mein
tumhaari dekh saj ai tang-posho
pahn kar jama basanti jo wo nikla ghar sun
