raat hai shahr-e-butan hai aur hum
aarzu-e-be-karan hai aur hum

kaun guzra hai sar-e-rah-e-khayal
dur tak ek kahkashan hai aur hum

raat ki dhalti jawani ke rafiq
sirf ek pir-e-mughan hai aur hum

bujh chale hain sare yaron ke charagh
ab charaghon ka dhuan hai aur hum

har zamane mein mili haq ko salib
ye qamis-e-khun-chakan hai aur hum

be-sutun taqdir-e-har-farhad hai
ek mazaq-e-khusrawan hai aur hum

jis mein jurat ho wo mud kar dekh le
ek umr-e-raegan hai aur hum
