kaDa hai din baDi hai raat jab se tum nahin aae

kuchh din to kar taawun ai KHush-sifat mujhse

unki surat hamein aai thi pasand aankhon se

rahi raat un se mulaqat kam

agarche aaina-e-dil mein hai qayam us ka

TuTa tilism-e-waqt to kya dekhta hun main

isMein kya shak hai ki aawara hun main

aur na dar-ba-dar phira aur na aazma mujhe

meri hayat hai bas raat ke andhere tak

teri sohbat mein baiTha hun

jo sunta hun kahunga main jo kahta hun sununga main

jo jal uThi hai shabistan mein yaad si kya hai

saman to behad hai dil mein

piyo ki ma-hasal-e-hosh kis ne dekha hai

main apne-ap se pichha chhuDa ke
