parda-e-shab ki ot mein zohra-jamal kho gae
dil ka kanwal bujha to shahr tira-o-tar ho gae

ek hamein hi ai sahar nind na aai raat bhar
zanu-e-shab pe rakh ke sar sare charagh so gae

rah mein the babul bhi rud-e-sharar bhi dhul bhi
jaana hamein zarur tha gul ke tawaf ko gae

dida-waro bataen kya tum ko yaqin na aaega
chehre the jin ke chand se sine mein dagh bo gae

dagh-e-shikast dosto dekho kise nasib ho
baithe hue hain tez-rau sust-khiram to gae

ahl-e-junun ke dil 'shakeb' narm the mom ki tarah
tesha-e-yas jab chala tuda-e-sang ho gae
