saat-e-hijr jab satati hai
waqt ki nabz ruk si jati hai

chizen apni jagah pe rahti hain
tirgi bas unhen chhupati hai

shor mein jo sadaen dab jaen
khamushi phir wahi sunati hai

dhup ki aanch hai jo raat gae
chandni ban ke muskuraati hai

husn shayad isi ko kahte hain
jab nazar laut laut jati hai

wo meri jit tere nam se thi
han magar haar meri zati hai

chand jab dhup mein nikalta hai
chandni kab nazar mein aati hai

khwab dekha ho jin ki aankhon ne
subh-e-nau bas unhen bulati hai
