main hun raat ka ek baja hai

maiñ huuñ raat kā ek bajā hai

ḳhālī rasta bol rahā hai

aaj to yuuñ ḳhāmosh hai duniyā

jaise kuchh hone vaalā hai

kaisī añdherī raat hai dekho

apne aap se Dar lagtā hai

aaj to shahr kī ravish ravish par

pattoñ kā mela sā lagā hai

aao ghaas pe sabhā jamā.eñ

mai-ḳhāna to band paḌā hai

phuul to saare jhaḌ ga.e lekin

terī yaad kā zaḳhm harā hai

tū ne jitnā pyaar kiyā thā

dukh bhī mujhe utnā hī diyā hai

ye bhī hai ek tarah kī mohabbat

maiñ tujh se tū mujh se judā hai

ye tirī manzil vo mirā rasta

terā merā saath hī kyā hai

maiñ ne to ik baat kahī thī

kyā tū sach-much ruuTh gayā hai

aisā gāhak kaun hai jis ne

sukh de kar dukh mol liyā hai

terā rasta takte takte

khet gagan kā suukh chalā hai

khiḌkī khol ke dekh to bāhar

der se koī shaḳhs khaḌā hai

saarī bastī so ga.ī 'nāsir'

tū ab tak kyuuñ jaag rahā hai

main hun raat ka ek baja hai

KHali rasta bol raha hai

aaj to yun KHamosh hai duniya

jaise kuchh hone wala hai

kaisi andheri raat hai dekho

apne aap se Dar lagta hai

aaj to shahr ki rawish rawish par

patton ka mela sa laga hai

aao ghas pe sabha jamaen

mai-KHana to band paDa hai

phul to sare jhaD gae lekin

teri yaad ka zaKHm hara hai

tu ne jitna pyar kiya tha

dukh bhi mujhe utna hi diya hai

ye bhi hai ek tarah ki mohabbat

main tujh se tu mujh se juda hai

ye teri manzil wo mera rasta

tera mera sath hi kya hai

main ne to ek baat kahi thi

kya tu sach-much ruTh gaya hai

aisa gahak kaun hai jis ne

sukh de kar dukh mol liya hai

tera rasta takte takte

khet gagan ka sukh chala hai

khiDki khol ke dekh to bahar

der se koi shaKHs khaDa hai

sari basti so gai 'nasir'

tu ab tak kyun jag raha hai
