Delhi, India
dur se aae the saqi sun ke mai-KHane ko hum
mera dil hai mushtaq us gul-badan ka
daman-o-kanar ashk se kab tar na hue aah
baiTho yan bhi koi pal kya hoga
na mah ne kaund bijli ki na shoale ka ujala hai
na dil mein sabr na ab dida-e-pur-ab mein KHwab
tere mariz ko ai jaan shifa se kya matlab
dhuan kaleje se mere nikla jala jo dil bas ki rashk kha kar
beja hai rah-e-ishq mein ai dil gila-e-pa
hum dekhen kis din husn ai dil us rashk-e-pari ka dekhenge
kya din the wo jo wan karam-e-dil-barana tha
mera KHat hai jahan yaro wo rashk-e-hur le jaana
dil ko chashm-e-yar ne jab jam-e-mai apna diya
kahte hain yan ki mujh sa koi mah-jabin nahin
inkar humse ghair se iqrar bas ji bas
