Delhi, India
pan kha kar surma ki tahrir phir khinchi to kya
jab ki pahlu mein hamare but-e-KHud-kaam na ho
mar gae ai wah unki naz-bardari mein hum
hai dil ko jo yaad aai falak-e-pir kisi ki
hijr ke hath se ab KHak paDe jine mein
bhari hai dil mein jo hasrat kahun to kis se kahun
pan ki surKHi nahin lab par but-e-KHun-KHwar ke
shamshir-e-barhana mang ghazab baalon ki mahak phir waisi hi
nahin ishq mein is ka to ranj hamein ki qarar o shakeb zara na raha
zulf jo ruKH par tere ai mehr-e-talat khul gai
TukDe nahin hain aansuon mein dil ke chaar panch
na us ka bhed yari se na ayyari se hath aaya
kafir tujhe allah ne surat to pari di
wo sau sau aTkhaTon se ghar se bahar do qadam nikle
ruKH jo zer-e-sumbul-e-pur-pech-o-tab aa jaega
