dil-bhitar barsat hui hai
yun bhi guzar auqat hui hai

band dariche suni galiyan
laut chalo ghar raat hui hai

shart laga kar jab bhi khele
khel mein hum ko mat hui hai

bit gain lo hijr ki ghadiyan
khatm shab-e-zulmat hui hai

is kuche aa nikle jab bhi
sath mein ek baraat hui hai

jis ne bhi sach bola badh kar
khilqat us ke sath hui hai

ruthe ruthe kyun rahte ho
kuchh to kaho kya baat hui hai

itna bada ilzam hai hum par
itni zara si baat hui hai

hifz bayaz-e-mir hai jis ko
us ko ata saughat hui hai

qufl-e-tilism-e-harf khula hai
sharh-e-kitab-e-zat hui hai

waqt-e-nuzul-e-sher hai 'khusraw'
subh gai ab raat hui hai
