aaj hai kuchh sabab aaj kī shab na jā
jaan hai zer-e-lab aaj kī shab na jā
kyā patā phir tire vasl kī sā.ateñ
huuñ kahāñ kaise kab aaj kī shab na jā
chāñd kyā phuul kyā sham.a kyā rañg kyā
haiñ pareshān sab aaj kī shab na jā
vaqt ko kaise tartīb dete haiñ log
aa sikhā de ye ab aaj kī shab na jā
vo sahar bhī tujhī se sahar thī 'asad'
shab bhī tum se hai shab aaj kī shab na jā
