Delhi, India
id hai qatl mera ahl-e-tamasha ke liye
Thokar bhi rah-e-ishq mein khani zarur hai
meri bandagi se mere jurm afzun
ho sake kya apni wahshat ka ilaj
kahin hai id ki shadi kahin matam hai maqtal mein
jis mein lakhon baras ki huren hon
zikr-e-mehr-o-wafa to hum karte
sunai jati hain dar-parda galiyan mujhko
lakh dene ka ek dena tha
saqiya tishnagi ki tab nahin
le chala jaan meri ruTh ke jaana tera
ruh kis mast ki pyasi gai mai-KHane se
kahna kisi ka subh-e-shab-e-wasl naz se
roz-o-shab mujhko hai yahi dhaDka
arz-e-ahwal ko gila samjhe
