bahr-e-alam mein dil dub gaya aaj ki shab
ek mahshar sa hai sine mein bapa aaj ki shab

hai musallat mere ehsas ki nannhi lau par
tang hoti hui zulmat ki rida aaj ki shab

yas wo chhai ki yun hota hai mahsus mujhe
sakht na-khush hai khudai se khuda aaj ki shab

hae mayus nigahon ki ye takhliq ki hai
jis taraf dekhiye ek dam-e-bala aaj ki shab

naz-parwarda-e-aghosh-e-bahaaran jo the
unhi armanon pe kya waqt pada aaj ki shab

dil ki basta hua ek shahr tha armanon ka
be-tarah yurish-e-hijran se luta aaj ki shab

ai gham-e-hijr-e-dil-aram ke mare 'qazi'
wahshat-amoz hai kyon ghar ki faza aaj ki shab
