Delhi, India
dil de to is mizaj ka parwardigar de
ruKH-e-raushan ke aage shama rakh kar wo ye kahte hain
di shab-e-wasl moazzin ne azan pichhli raat
rah gae lakhon kaleja tham kar
unki farmaish nai din raat hai
ki tark-e-mai to mail-e-pindar ho gaya
ab to bimar-e-mohabbat tere
main bhi hairan hun ai dagh ki ye baat hai kya
ye to kahiye is KHata ki kya saza
na samjha umr guzri us but-e-kafar ko samjhate
qatl ki sun ke KHabar id manai maine
koi chhinTa paDe to dagh kalkatte chale jaen
ghamza bhi ho saffak nigahen bhi hon KHun-rez
phirta hai mere dil mein koi harf-e-muddaa
zamane ke kya kya sitam dekhte hain
