Delhi, India
munh pe khata hai ye is tarah se talwar ki bas
kab sune zanjir mujh majruh diwane ki arz
chaman mein mujhse diwane ke le jaane se kya hasil
kam nahin hum bujhte kabe se maiKHane ke tain
gae sab bhul shikwe dekh ru-e-yar kya kahiye
bahaar aai hai kya kya chaak jaib-e-pairahan karte
us gul se kuchh hijab hamein darmiyan na tha
sarir-e-saltanat se aastan-e-yar behtar tha
koi maidan na jita ishq ka farhad ke aage
gareban phaDte hain dekh KHuban-e-chaman kyun kar
diwana mujh sa kab jita hai kyun tadbir karte hain
kar-e-din us but ke hathon hae abtar ho gaya
mohabbat mein murawwat ki hikayat ke suKHan Khaali
hai tere dagh se tar sina-e-sozan mera
haq mujhe baatil-ashna na kare
