Delhi, India
dil ko aazar laga wo ki chhupa bhi na sakun
hath se haihat kya jata raha
abhi se aa gain nam-e-KHuda hain shoKHiyan kya-kya
dil ko dar-us-surur kahte hain
ham-nashin un ke taraf-dar bane baiThe hain
dil gaya dil ka nishan baqi raha
bigaD kar adu se dikhate hain aap
gul-afshani ke dam bharti hai chashm-e-KHun-fishan kya kya
talafi wafa ki jafa chahta hun
wo kisi se tumko jo rabt tha tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho
bhul kar hargiz na lete hum zaban se nam-e-ishq
phaTa paDta hai joban aur josh-e-nau-jawani hai
milne ka nahin rizq-e-muqaddar se siwa aur
fitna-gar shoKHi-e-haya kab tak
hae us shoKH ka andaz se aana shab-e-wasl
