aap ki yaad aati rahi raat bhar
chandni dil dukhati rahi raat bhar

gah jalti hui gah bujhti hui
sham-e-gham jhilmilati rahi raat bhar

koi khushbu badalti rahi pairahan
koi taswir gati rahi raat bhar

phir saba saya-e-shakh-e-gul ke tale
koi qissa sunati rahi raat bhar

jo na aaya use koi zanjir-e-dar
har sada par bulati rahi raat bhar

ek ummid se dil bahalta raha
ek tamanna satati rahi raat bhar
