baat bas se nikal chali hai
dil ki haalat sambhal chali hai

ab junun had se badh chala hai
ab tabiat bahal chali hai

ashk khunab ho chale hain
gham ki rangat badal chali hai

ya yunhi bujh rahi hain shamen
ya shab-e-hijr tal chali hai

lakh paigham ho gae hain
jab saba ek pal chali hai

jao ab so raho sitaro
dard ki raat dhal chali hai
