shab ke hain mah mehr hain din ke
rup dekhe butan-e-kamsin ke

bose hain be-hisab har din ke
wade kyun talte ho gin gin ke

hain wo diwane jazb-e-baatin ke
utri hai shishe mein pari jin ke

ahl-e-dil dekhte hain aap ka munh
aaine mein safai baatin ke

dil rawan ho khayal-e-yar ke sath
jae maskan bhi sath sakin ke

lagharon par hai zulm-e-jaan-shikni
ai ajal todti hai kyun tinke

rahe kalkatta mein mukhir 'munir'
sadqe apne imam-e-zamin ke
