wo jo raat mujhko baDe adab se salam kar ke chala gaya

tamasha-gah-e-jahan mein majal-e-did kise

ab shughl hai yahi dil-e-iza-pasand ka

umr bhar dukh sahte sahte aaKHir itna to hua

sang uThana to baDi baat hai ab shahr ke log

maine kaha ki dekh ye main ye hawa ye raat

main bahut KHush tha kaDi dhup ke sannaTe mein

are kyun Dar rahe ho jangal se

jaane kis dam nikal aae tere ruKHsar ki dhup

dhuen se aasman ka rang maila hota jata hai

ek raat chandni mere bistar pe aai thi
