Delhi, India
hua hai har tarah pamal qalb-e-na-tawan mera
apni nakaam mohabbat pe hansi aati hai
jab shab-e-furqat ki tariki se ghabraata hun main
parda haTa ke jab wo hasin muskuraega
qalb-e-alam-nasib ki tishna-labi bujhae ja
ghamon ki dopahar mein kaam aaya
gardish-e-gham tamam ho ki na ho
mayus zindagi ke sahaare chale gae
mahfil mein agar saqi-e-gulfam nahin hai
be-ruKHi se na pesh aa saqi
chhu kar kisi ki zulf-e-muattar machal gae
KHak tak mere aashiyane ki
dastan hai hasin shararon ki
kahin din Dhala kahin shab hui kahin sham aai sahar gai
is dil ko tah-e-tegh sula kyon nahin dete
