Delhi, India
dekhi dil de ke qadr-dani
barham hain wo ghair be-haya se
hathon mein aaj ki shab mehndi lagaiyega
qurban ho rahi hai meri jaan idhar-udhar
nae Dhab ka kuchh josh-e-sauda hua hai
ba-lab chuse hue kyun kar nahin hain
meri jaan ranj ghaTaiye qadam aage ab na baDhaiye
nikal aaya wo ghabra kar dil us ka is qadar dhaDka
shikayat se gharaz kya muddaa kya
pak hai lazzat-e-ishrat se zaban-e-waiz
marg-e-aghyar lab pe la na saka
kiye sajde hue kafir na kuchh dil mein zara samjhe
kab is zamin pe mujhe aarmida hona tha
dete ho bosa to kahin lao bhi
fasl-e-gul aai hai kal aur hi saman honge
