raat yun dil mein teri khoi hui yaad aai

na did hai na suKHan ab na harf hai na payam

zabt ka ahd bhi hai shauq ka paiman bhi hai

hazar dard shab-e-arzu ki rah mein hai

mata-e-lauh-o-qalam chhin gai to kya gham hai

na aaj lutf kar itna ki kal guzar na sake

aa gai fasl-e-sukun chaak-gareban walo

fikr-e-sud-o-ziyan to chuTegi

na puchh jab se tera intizar kitna hai

hum KHasta-tanon se muhtasibo kya mal-manal ka puchhte ho

raat Dhalne lagi hai sinon mein

faza-e-dil pe udasi bikharti jati hai

tera jamal nigahon mein le ke uTTha hun

tumhaare husn se rahti hai ham-kanar nazar

rafiq-e-rah thi manzil har ek talash ke baad

dil rahin-e-gham-e-jahan hai aaj

aaj tanhai kisi hamdam-e-derin ki tarah

waqf-e-hirman-o-yas rahta hai

apne inam-e-husn ke badle

subh phuTi to aasman pe tere

diwar-e-shab aur aks-e-ruKH-e-yar samne

ye KHun ki mahak hai ki lab-e-yar ki KHushbu

baqi hai koi sath to bas ek usi ka

saba ke hath mein narmi hai un ke hathon ki

jaan bechne ko aae to be-dam bech di

khile jo ek dariche mein aaj husn ke phul

mai-KHanon ki raunaq hain kabhi KHanqahon ki

maqtal mein na masjid na KHarabaat mein koi

zindan zindan shor-e-anal-haq mahfil mahfil qul-qul-e-mai

phir hashr ke saman hue aiwan-e-hawas mein

Dhalti hai mauj mai ki tarah raat in dinon

un dinon rasm-o-rah-e-shahr-e-nigaran kya hai

tamam shab dil-e-wahshi talash karta hai

dida-e-tar pe wahan kaun nazar karta hai

hamare dam se hai ku-e-junun mein ab bhi KHajil

jo pairahan mein koi tar mohtasib se bacha

sham dhundlane lagi aur meri tanhai
