Delhi, India
ek mahak si dam-e-tahrir kahan se aai
jahan-e-dil mein hue inqalab aur hi kuchh
hai ab ki fasl mein rang bahaar aur hi kuchh
pai na koi manzil pahunchin na kahin rahen
idhar mausam ki ye KHush-e-ehtimami
ai dil ab aur koi qissa-e-duniya na suna
mohabbat Khaar-e-daman ban ke ruswa ho gai aaKHir
tum se ulfat ke taqaze na nibahe jate
wo maza rakhte hain kuchh taza fasane apne
nikle teri duniya ke sitam aur tarah ke
asar na ho to usi nutq-e-be-asar se kah
nazar chura gae izhaar-e-muddaa se mere
har-chand ki saghar ki tarah josh mein rahiye
ai dil tere KHayal ki duniya kahan se laen
fitne jo kai shakl-e-karishmat uThe hain
