chāñdnī raat meñ har dard sañvar jaatā hai
jaane kyā kyā sar-e-ehsās bikhar jaatā hai
dekhte ham bhī haiñ kuchh ḳhvāb magar haa.e re dil
har na.e ḳhvāb kī ta.abīr se Dar jaatā hai
maut kā vaqt muayyan hai to phir baat hai kyā
kaun hai mujh meñ jo har saañs pe mar jaatā hai
dil meñ gaḌ jaatī hai jab sā.at-e-māzī kī salīb
vaqt ruk jaatā hai insān guzar jaatā hai
