dil se har guzri baat guzri hai
kis qayamat ki raat guzri hai

chandni nim-wa daricha sukut
aankhon aankhon mein raat guzri hai

hae wo log khubsurat log
jin ki dhun mein hayat guzri hai

tamtamata hai chehra-e-ayyam
dil pe kya wardat guzri hai

kisi bhatke hue khayal ki mauj
kitni yaadon ke sat guzri hai

phir koi aas ladkhadai hai
ki nasim-e-hayat guzri hai

bujhte jate hain dikhti palkon pe dip
nind aai hai raat guzri hai
