zalzale sakht aate rahe raat-bhar
ghar ko dhate giraate rahe raat-bhar

aap han aate jate rahe raat-bhar
waza-dari nibhate rahe raat-bhar

sara din naqsh un ka banate rahe
ban gaya to mitate rahe raat-bhar

koi bhi hum ko hatim nahin kah saka
garche moti lutate rahe raat-bhar

din mein sarmaya-kari jo ki dard ki
hum khasare chukate rahe raat-bhar

subh-dam ju-e-khun kaise wo ban gae
hum jo aansu bahate rahe raat-bhar

dekhiye sadgi aap ki dastan
aap hi ko sunate rahe raat-bhar

teri yaadon ka sawan barasta raha
gulistan hum khilate rahe raat-bhar

qamat-e-yar par aarzu ki qaba
dil ke hathon sajate rahe raat-bhar

lamha lamha mite hum koi gham nahin
aap ko to banate rahe raat-bhar

hum bisat-e-tamanna bichhate rahe
aate aate wo aate rahe raat-bhar

teri yaadon ke lamhe bhi bedard the
tujh ko mujh se churaate rahe raat-bhar

aasman par sitare larazte rahe
ashk 'tarzi' bahate rahe raat-bhar
