Delhi, India
shoKHi ne teri lutf na rakkha hijab mein
yar ko mahrum-e-tamasha kiya
main wasl mein bhi shefta hasrat-talab raha
dil ka gila falak ki shikayat yahan nahin
uTh subh hui murgh-e-chaman naghma-e-sara dekh
mar gae hain jo hijr-e-yar mein hum
kam-fahm hain to kam hain pareshaniyon mein hum
kab nigah uski ishwa-bar nahin
kaun se din teri yaad ai but-e-saffak nahin
jab raqibon ka sitam yaad aaya
kahun main kya ki kya dard-e-nihan hai
