Delhi, India
tadbir hamare milne ki jis waqt koi Thahraoge tum
ho kis tarah na hum ko har dam hawa-e-matlab
kaha ye aaj hamein fahm ne suno sahib
sahar humne chaman-andar ajab dekha kal ek dilbar
hum mein bhi aur unhon mein pahle jo yariyan thin
dil ko le kar humse ab jaan bhi talab karte hain aap
hosh-o-KHirad ko kar diya tark aur shaghl jo kuchh tha chhoD diya
safai uski jhalakti hai gore sine mein
saqi ye pila usko jo ho jam se waqif
jaan bhi ba-jaan hai hijr mein aur dil figar bhi
miyan dil tujhe le chale husn wale
dil na lo dil ka ye lena hai na iKHfa hoga
kuchh to ho kar du-badu kuchh Darte Darte kah diya
ye chhapke ka jo baala kan mein ab tumne Dala hai
kya kasa-e-mai lijiye is bazm mein ai ham-nashin
