wo sar-e-sham gae hijr ki hai raat shurua
ashk jari hain hua mausam-e-barsat shurua

jazba-e-dil ne mere kuchh to kari hai tasir
phir hue un ke jo altaf-o-inayat shurua

mujh ko dikhlao na tum rang-e-hina us ko jalao
bhejni jis ne kari tum ko ye saughat shurua

kabhu wahshat kabhu shiddat kabhu gham ki kasrat
ki jo pahle the hue phir wo hi haalat shurua

log nazron pe chadhate hain khuda khair kare
phir nae sar se hai ki us ne mulaqat shurua

hijr ki shab ye qayamat hai kati ai 'tanwir'
subh ho jae karo aisi koi baat shurua
