mujh ko tanha jo pa rahi hai raat
khauf se sahmi ja rahi hai raat

kis ki yaadon ki chandni chatki
kis liye jagmaga rahi hai raat

kaun yaad aa gaya hai pichhle pahar
jate jate phir aa rahi hai raat

har taraf hai sukut-e-gham tari
dastan kya suna rahi hai raat

gham-zada dil hai aur bhi ghamgin
git kya gunguna rahi hai raat

dil ke sahra mein zakhm khilte hain
dard kaisa jaga rahi hai raat

kitne sunsan raste hain 'matin'
kitni chup-chap ja rahi hai raat
