shab-e-hijran mein dam nikalta hai
kab payam-e-visal talta hai

dil-e-bimar se hai tang masih
dagh se aaftab jalta hai

be-zari se hun paemal-e-butan
zor kis ka khuda se chalta hai

dil na le ai sanam barae-khuda
is se kuchh ji mera bahalta hai

aatish-e-ishq zulf-e-pechan hai
haddiyon se dhuan nikalta hai

tere hansne pe main jo rota hun
abr manind-e-barq jalta hai

tujh se ai ashk mah-e-furqat ho
rang kya kya falak badalta hai

apne bimar ko na puchh masih
ab koi dam mein dam nikalta hai

dagh ka jism-e-zar se hai farogh
khas se jaise charagh jalta hai

sard ya arsh pa-e-qatil par
lash par wo bhi hath malta hai
