kaT ga.ī raat sub.h hotī hai
sun mirī baat sub.h hotī hai
bātoñ hī meñ guzar ga.ī shab-e-vasl
ab kahāñ raat sub.h hotī hai
ab bhī suura ki baj rahā hai gajar
are bad-zāt sub.h hotī hai
raat jab jā chukī to kahte ho
ab kahāñ ghaat sub.h hotī hai
ab kahāñ hai shab-e-shabāb ai 'mehr'
jaago haihāt sub.h hotī hai
