tujhe khabar ho to bol ai mere sitara-e-shab
meri samajh mein to aata nahin ishaara-e-shab

use main ek musalsal charagh kar deta
meri giraft mein hota jo istiara-e-shab

main ek charagh kahan tak muzahimat karta
mere khilaf tha kitna bada idara-s-shab

bahut se chand bahut se charagh kam nikle
banane baitha jo main raat goshwara-e-shab

kisi bhi subh ka marham asar nahin karta
ki har sahar hai yahan dusra kinara-e-shab
