zanu par us ke raat raha sar tamam raat
pesh-e-nazar raha rukh-e-dilbar tamam raat

kis se kahun kati meri kyunkar tamam raat
tadpa kiya mera dil-e-muztar tamam raat

baitha raha hun sham se aksar tamam raat
ginta raha hun hijr mein akhtar tamam raat

aisa bandha tasawwur-e-abru ki khwab mein
kata kiya gala dam-e-khanjar tamam raat

kya jaanta hai wahshat-e-shab-ha-e-tar ko
kati ho jaise shama jala kar tamam raat

ho garche be-nawa wahi sultan-e-waqt hai
jis ko hai wasl-e-yar mayassar tamam raat

ai 'ajiz' un ki kyon na dua mustajab ho
karte hain jo ibaadat-e-dawar tamam raat
