Delhi, India
ifsha-e-raaz-e-ishq mein go zillaten huin
jao bhi kya karoge mehr-o-wafa
iman ki to ye hai ki iman ab kahan
kya baiThna kya uThna kya bolna kya hansna
wo zamana bhi tumhein yaad hai tum kahte the
chup-chap sunti rahti hai pahron shab-e-firaq
dil kya milaoge ki hamein ho gaya yaqin
fasurda-dil kabhi KHalwat na anjuman mein rahe
nahin khel ai dagh yaron se kah do
wo kahte hain kya zor uThaoge tum ai dagh
hazaron kaam mohabbat mein hain maze ke dagh
samjho patthar ki tum lakir use
dil hi to hai na aae kyun dam hi to hai na jae kyun
adam ki jo haqiqat hai wo puchho ahl-e-hasti se
KHub parda hai ki chilman se lage baiThe hain
