barson hue us se na koi baat hui raat
tu ne bhi na ki apni koi jadugari raat

gum ho gai ummid-e-mulaqat sahar mein
ye tu ne mere sath ajab chaal chali raat

wo le gaya sath apne ujale mere dil ke
kate na kati hum se jo thi dard-bhari raat

ashkon se kaha main ne judai ka fasana
is par ye kaha us ne ki aaegi nai raat

shikwe mere aur us ka batana ise ilzam
kuchh tai na hua aur yunhi bit gai raat

jo mere tasawwur mein tha hangama-e-mahshar
us ke liye makhsus hui wasl ki hi raat

is mein hi to hai chand sitaron ka muqaddar
ek khal-e-siyah-tab ki hai jalwagari raat

jis raat kabhi koi mere sath raha tha
aa jae 'suhail' aaj dua hai ki wahi raat
