kaam aai ishq ki diwangi kal raat ko
husn ne bakhshi mata-e-dosti kal raat ko

qamat-e-dilkash libas-e-surkh mein thi mehman
mere ghar ek surkh makhmal ki pari kal raat ko

tamtamae gal bhige hont chashm-e-nim-wa
thi mujassam jaise meri shairi kal raat ko

wo mere shana-ba-shana sahn mein mahw-e-khiram
chand ke pahlu mein jaise chandni kal raat ko

narm banhon se mere shanon se kuchh sazish hui
pad gai gardan mein moti ki ladi kal raat ko

shab ke sannate mein paiman-e-wafa bandhe gae
kuchh nae wadon ne ki jadugari kal raat ko

har ghadi 'sufi' nashat-angez lamhon mein kati
zindagi thi dar-haqiqat zindagi kal raat ko
