Delhi, India
lagta nahin hai dil mera ujDe dayar mein
TukDe nahin hain aansuon mein dil ke chaar panch
shane ki har zaban se sune koi laf-e-zulf
hum ye to nahin kahte ki gham kah nahin sakte
qarun uTha ke sar pe suna ganj le chala
ya mujhe afsar-e-shahana banaya hota
kya kahun dil mail-e-zulf-e-dota kyunkar hua
KHwah kar insaf zalim KHwah kar bedad tu
mohabbat chahiye baham hamein bhi ho tumhein bhi ho
jab kabhi dariya mein hote saya-afgan aap hain
nibah baat ka us hila-gar se kuchh na hua
kafir tujhe allah ne surat to pari di
na durweshon ka KHirqa chahiye na taj-e-shahana
ye qissa wo nahin tum jis ko qissa-KHwan se suno
gai yak-ba-yak jo hawa palaT nahin dil ko mere qarar hai
