aankhon aankhon mein guzari shab-e-hijran hum ne
ashk rahne diye har shab pas-e-mizhgan hum ne

zindagi tujh se ibarat hai so teri khatir
zist ki rah mein bichhain sada kaliyan hum ne

sans ki lai pe dhadakta hai tumhein dekh ke dil
dil ko dekha hai kai bar hi raqsan hum ne

mundamil zakhm hue the na hamare dil ke
phir nae gham ko kiya aaj hi mehman hum ne

khwab aankhon mein koi kaise utar kar aata
nind ka jabki liya hi nahin ehsan hum ne

raat roe the bahut koi bahana na bana
raat phir uthta hua dekha hai tufan hum ne

bin bulae hi chali aai shab-e-gham dekho
dekha 'dilshad' ko phir aaj pareshan hum ne
