Delhi, India
saqi sharab hai to ghanimat hai ab ki ab
dikha kar ek nazar dil ko nihayat kar gaya bekal
jo aawe munh pe tere mahtab hai kya chiz
na main dil ko ab har makan bechta hun
mila mujhse wo aaj chanchal chhabila
mah hai agar ju-e-shir tum bhi zari-posh ho
kya kahin duniya mein hum insan ya haiwan the
qatl par bandh chuka wo but-e-gumrah miyan
hui shakl apni ye ham-nashin jo sanam ko humse hijab hai
khinch kar is mah-ru ko aaj yan lai hai raat
sehn-e-gulshan mein chali phir ke hawa bismillah
ayyam-e-shabab apne bhi kya aish-asar the
hum aise kab the ki KHud badaulat yahan bhi karte qadam nawazish
kidhar hai aaj ilahi wo shoKH chhal-baliya
gae hum jo ulfat ki wan rah karne
