abas nahin koi aansu nadamat-e-shab ka
ye aaftab sila hai riyazat-e-shab ka

hamari aankh mein aae tumhaare nam ke khwab
hamein sawab mila hai ibaadat-e-shab ka

ye aasman pe lali nahin sawere ki
lahuluhan badan hai masafat-e-shab ka

nigah rakhni padegi charagh ki lau par
khayal rakhna padega zarurat-e-shab ka

is imtihan mein aankhen halak hoti hain
halaf utha to liya hai hifazat-e-shab ka

fasil-e-chashm se bahar nikal gaya aansu
farar ho gaya qaidi hirasat-e-shab ka

isi liye hai charaghon pe mutmain duniya
use pata nahin shayad tabiat-e-shab ka
