utre tilism shab ke ujalon pe raat-bhar
qurban hui hai subh charaghon pe raat-bhar

zulmat mein apni dub gain din ki bastiyan
suraj tamam chamke sitaron pe raat-bhar

utre nahin shabon mein udanon ke hausle
baithe rahe parind bhi shakhon pe raat-bhar

ek lau nahin nasib ghariban-e-shahr ko
shamen jali hain kitni mazaron pe raat-bhar

dhalti rahi nigah mein chehron ki chandni
nazil hue yaqin gumanon pe raat-bhar

pairahan-e-jamal hai rakht-e-barahnagi
pahne gae hain jism libason pe raat-bhar

khushbu mein jazb ho gain mahtabiyan 'samad'
shabnam hui nisar gulabon pe raat-bhar
