yaad hai pahle-pahal ki wo mulaqat ki baat

naznin jin ke kuchh niyaz nahin

shab-e-visal lagaya jo un ko sine se

diwane hue sahra mein phire ye haal tumhaare gham ne kiya

ajab zamane ki gardishen hain KHuda hi bas yaad aa raha hai

go ye rakhti nahin insan ki haalat achchhi

wasl mein aapas ki hujjat aur hai

ada pariyon ki surat hur ki aankhen ghazalon ki

kahin marne wale kaha mante hain

karna jo mohabbat ka iqrar samajh lena

hum ko dikha dikha ke ghairon ke itr malna

shikwa karte hain zaban se na gila karte hain

subh ko aae ho nikle sham ke

shab-e-visal ye kahte hain wo suna ke mujhe

shab-e-wasl hai bahs hujjat abas
