uljha dil-e-sitam-zada zulf-e-butan se aaj
nazil hui bala mere sar par kahan se aaj

tadpunga hijr-e-yar mein hai raat chaudhwin
tan chandni mein hoga muqabil katan se aaj

do-chaar rashk-e-mah bhi hamrah chahiyen
wada hai chandni mein kisi mehrban se aaj

hangam-e-wasl radd-o-badal mujh se hai abas
niklega kuchh na kaam nahin aur han se aaj

qar-e-badan mein ruh pukari ye waqt-e-naza
muddat ke baad uthte hain hum is makan se aaj

khinchi hai charkh ne bhi kisi mang ki shabih
sabit hui ye baat mujhe kahkashan se aaj

andher tha nigah-e-'amanat' mein sham sahar
tum chand ki tarah nikal aae kahan se aaj
