Delhi, India
baham buland-o-past hain kaif-e-sharab ke
kabhi hota hun zahir jalwa-e-husn-e-niko ho kar
aabaad gham-o-dard se virana hai us ka
ghunche ne taj gul ne kiya pairahan durust
milne ke nahin nishan hamare
ab aae ho sada sun kar gajar ki
hawas ye rah gai dil mein ki muddaa na mila
matam bahut raha mujhe ashk-e-chakida ka
dekh o qatil basar karte hain kis mushkil se hum
pite hain mai gunah ba-qasd-e-sawab hai
manzur hai napna kamar ka
dil kisi mushtaq ka ThanDa kiya
khuli hai aankh josh-e-intizar-e-yar-e-jaani hai
gasht na kar idhar-udhar be-KHabari jahan mein hai
marg-e-aghyar lab pe la na saka
