naqab rukh se uthao bahut udas hai raat
jamal apna dikhao bahut udas hai raat

tasawwuraat mein aao bahut udas hai raat
tarab ke naghme sunao bahut udas hai raat

bahaar aai hai uttho zara chaman walo
kali ko jam banao bahut udas hai raat

urus-e-nau ki ghaneri siyah zulfon mein
hasin sitare sajao bahut udas hai raat

abhi to raat hai baqi abhi se fikr-e-sahar
abhi na jao na jao bahut udas hai raat

khusha nasib ki wo kah rahe hain ai 'paikan'
koi ghazal to sunao bahut udas hai raat
