An ode to Ustad Bismillah Khan sahab ....

Tum aao Sanam, Fiza mein bajne lagee Shehnayeeyaan
Taaron ki chilman ko hataker Chand bhi jhankne laga ab,
Dekhne ko ootawla hua , tumhara mukhda, Mere Mehboob,
Pairon mein baj tee , rooktee ye Pajaib , meri nigodee ,
mere hi dil ko dhadkatee rehtee hai, deker jhoothe dilase
ki aayenge Piya tumhare , hosh samhalo , rook jao na,
aur sun lo Ragini Madhur see , bajtee jo Fizaon mein !
