mere bhi kuchh gile the magar raat ho gai
kuchh tum bhi ki rahe the magar raat ho gai

duniya se dur apne barabar khade rahe
khwabon mein jagte the magar raat ho gai

aasab sun rahe the thakawat ki guftugu
uljhan thi masale the magar raat ho gai

aankhon ki raushni mein andhere bikhar gae
kheme se kuchh jale the magar raat ho gai

ai dil ai mere dil ye suna hai ki sham ko
ghar se wo chal pade the magar raat ho gai

aisi bhi kya wafa ki kahani thi ro pade
kuchh silsile chale the magar raat ho gai

kuchh zine ikhityar ke chadhne laga tha main
kuchh wo utar rahe the magar raat ho gai

dushman ki dosti ne masafat samet li
qadmon mein raste the magar raat ho gai

'sahil' fareb-e-fikr hai duniya ki dastan
kuchh raaz khul chale the magar raat ho gai
