Delhi, India
yar tha gulzar tha baad-e-saba thi main na tha
hath kyun bandhe mere chhalla agar chori hua
auron ke bal pe bal na kar itna na chal nikal
ye chaman yunhi rahega aur hazaron bulbulen
kya tab kya majal hamari ki bosa len
na dunga dil use main ye hamesha kahta tha
mehnat se hai azmat ki zamane mein nagin ko
baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi
roz mamura-e-duniya mein KHarabi hai zafar
dekh dil ko mere o kafir-e-be-pir na toD
KHuda ke waste zahid uTha parda na kabe ka
na thi haal ki jab hamein apne KHabar rahe dekhte auron ke aib o hunar
main sisakta rah gaya aur mar gae farhad o qais
zafar badal ke radif aur tu ghazal wo suna
be-KHudi mein le liya bosa KHata kije muaf
