hamraaz hai ai mere sanam raat ka saya
poshida dil mein rakhta hai gham raat ka saya

furqat mein chita gham ki sulagti hai tumhaare
aur kitna sahe zulm-o-sitam raat ka saya

ummid ki phuti hai kiran dil mein hamare
deta hai sawere ko janam raat ka saya

wade se mukar jaana hasinon ki ada hai
sunta hai sabhi qaul-o-qasam raat ka saya

zulmat ko hiqarat ki nigahon se na dekho
kirnon ki adaon mein hai zam raat ka saya

tare bhi nazar aate nahin daman-e-shab mein
sannata hai aur is pe sitam raat ka saya

dil ko hai 'waqar' ek tabassum ki tamanna
betab hai dil us pe karam raat ka saya
