tahajjud mein wo rang-o-bu raat bhar
khuda se rahi guftugu raat bhar

jo khwabon mein lahrae phulon ke jam
mahakte rahe be-subu raat bhar

hua jo sar-e-sham dil pash pash
kiya tar-e-gham se rafu raat bhar

wo tanhai ka khub-surat hujum
wo mela sar-e-ab-ju raat bhar

chamakte rahe aansuon ke charagh
kiya yaad unhen ba-wazu raat bhar

ye kamre se kaisi mahak aai thi
wahan to na the main na tu raat bhar

tumhein 'nur' khushbu ne dhunda bahut
kahan tum rahe ai guru raat bhar
