badh gaya baada-e-gul-gun ka maza aakhir-e-shab
aur bhi surkh hai rukhsar-e-haya aakhir-e-shab

manzilen ishq ki aasan huin chalte chalte
aur chamka tera naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa aakhir-e-shab

khatkhata jata hai zanjir-e-dar-e-mai-khana
koi diwana koi aabla-pa aakhir-e-shab

sans rukti hai chhalakte hue paimane mein
koi leta tha tera nam-e-wafa aakhir-e-shab

gul hai qindil-e-haram gul hain kalisa ke charagh
su-e-paimana badhe dast-e-dua aakhir-e-shab

hae kis dhum se nikla hai shahidon ka julus
jurm chup sar-ba-gareban hai jafa aakhir-e-shab

isi andaz se phir subh ka aanchal dhalke
isi andaz se chal baad-e-saba aakhir-e-shab
