mumkin hai shab-e-hijr dua ka na asar ho
hai raat wo kya raat ki jis ki na sahar ho

thukra ke chale jaana hai bar-haq tumhein lekin
bas rakhna khayal itna jahan ko na khabar ho

wo shab jo sitaron se bhari ho to hamein kya
pahlu mein agar tere meri shab na basar ho

garja hai bade zor se baadal zara dekho
bijli se giri jis pe kahin mera na ghar ho

jiwan hai safar 'josh' ye taslim hai lekin
mahbub ka ho sath to kya khub safar ho
