Raat kat`ti rahi chand dhalta raha

Raat kat`ti rahi chand dhalta raha
Aatish-e-hijer main koii jalta raha

Ghar ki tanhaiyan dil ko dasti rahin
Koi baichain karrwatt badalta raha

Aas-o-umeed ki shama roshan rahi
Ghar kee dehleez ko koi takta raha

Rat bhar chandni gungunati rahi
Rat bhar koi tanha sisakta raha

Ashk palkon pe aa kar bikhrtay rahe
Nam lab pay kisi kaa larazta raha

Aaj phir raat kaali guzar hi gaye
Aaj phir koi khud se ulajhta raha
