Delhi, India
na us ka bhed yari se na ayyari se hath aaya
hai dil ko jo yaad aai falak-e-pir kisi ki
shamshir-e-barhana mang ghazab baalon ki mahak phir waisi hi
hijr ke hath se ab KHak paDe jine mein
hote hote chashm se aaj ashk-bari rah gai
jab ki pahlu mein hamare but-e-KHud-kaam na ho
na daim gham hai ne ishrat kabhi yun hai kabhi wun hai
pan kha kar surma ki tahrir phir khinchi to kya
galiyan tanKHwah Thahri hai agar baT jaegi
pan ki surKHi nahin lab par but-e-KHun-KHwar ke
main hun aasi ki pur-KHata kuchh hun
zulf jo ruKH par tere ai mehr-e-talat khul gai
jigar ke TukDe hue jal ke dil kabab hua
humne teri KHatir se dil-e-zar bhi chhoDa
kyunkar na KHaksar rahen ahl-e-kin se dur
