din chhota hai raat badi hai
mohlat kam aur shart kadi hai

us ka ishaara pa kar mar ja
jine ko ek umr padi hai

band nahin sare darwaze
khair se basti bahut badi hai

khush hain makin ab donon taraf ke
bich mein ek diwar khadi hai

jag rahi hai sari basti
aur gali sunsan padi hai

har pal chhoti hoti duniya
pahle se ab bahut badi hai

dil mein chubhan hai hath mein lekin
nazuk si phulon ki chhadi hai

sahra kar diya jis ne dil ko
sawan ki ye wahi jhadi hai

jama hue sab dukh ke mare
jannat ki buniyaad padi hai

ek diya hai taq mein 'shahin'
aur sirhane raat khadi hai
