ek aur siyah raat hai is raat se aage

ajnabi bud-o-bash ke qurb-o-jawar mein mila

aashna kitna zaban ko be-zabani se kiya

faqat is ek uljhan mein wo pyasa dur tak aaya

ek jagah hun phir wahan ek yaad rah jaane ke baad

kahin gireban koi chaak hone wala hai

kashakash-e-gham-e-hasti mein koi kya sunta

zaKHm koi ek baDi mushkil se bhar jaane ke baad

raKHt-e-safar ko khol kar ab hun qayam ke qarib

ye jo tanhai mili aankh mein dharne ke liye

dhul se jab main aT jata hun

kis tarah be-mauj aur Khaali rawani se hua

hai ajab shaghl mera raat ke Dhal jaane tak

dil-e-girafta ke sab pech-o-tab khol ke dekh

is tarah karte hain kuchh log baDai uski
