Delhi, India
qismat mein gar hamari ye mai hai to saqiya
yun to hum the yunhi kuchh misl-e-anar-o-mahtab
marta hai jo mahbub ki Thokar pe nazir aah
sarsabz rakhiyo kisht ko ai chashm tu meri
the hum to KHud-pasand bahut lekin ishq mein
kahin baiThne de dil ab mujhe jo hawas Tuk main baja karun
wo mai-kade mein halawat hai rind-e-mai-kash ko
ishq ka dur kare dil se jo dhaDka tawiz
ashkon ke tasalsul ne chhupaya tan-e-uryan
dosto kya kya diwali mein nashat-o-aish hai
likhen hum aish ki taKHti ko kis tarah ai jaan
jitne hain kushtagan-e-ishq un ke azal se hain mile
wamandgan-e-rah to manzil pe ja paDe
