aur tadpae mujhe dard-e-jigar aaj ki raat
kal wo aaenge nahin aae agar aaj ki raat

khud-bakhud kam hai mera dard-e-jigar aaj ki raat
kaun aaega ilahi mere ghar aaj ki raat

ulte deta hai naqab-e-rukh-e-raushan koi
sham hi se hui jati hai sahar aaj ki raat

main jo betab gaya bazm mein to wo bole
khair hai khair hai aa nikle kidhar aaj ki raat

dar-e-mai-khana agar band hai masjid ko chalo
mai-kasho pad raho allah ke ghar aaj ki raat

han zara chaunk to aind aind ke sone wale
le kisi aashiq-e-muztar ki khabar aaj ki raat

ek muddat se jise dhund rahi thin aankhen
aane wala hai wahi rashk-e-qamar aaj ki raat

subh hote tere bimar ka dam niklega
hai ye mehman sifat-e-sham-e-sahar aaj ki raat

dard-e-dil tu ne hamein mar hi dala hota
wo kaleje se lagate na agar aaj ki raat

koi sota hai kahin sath kisi ke shayad
dil ke hamrah tadapta hai jigar aaj ki raat

tum to mar jaoge dam bhar mein tadap ke 'naushad'
dur-az-haal wo aae na agar aaj ki raat
