dekhna jalwa-e-jaanan ka asar aaj ki raat
phul hi phul hain ta-hadd-e-nazar aaj ki raat

raegan ja na saka aankh se us ka bahna
rang laya hai mera khun-e-jigar aaj ki raat

daman-e-shauq ko thame hue hain sharm-o-haya
dil dhadakta hai ba-andaz-e-digar aaj ki raat

husn-o-taqdis ki dilchasp hikayat padh kar
dhun raha hai dil-e-hairat-zada sar aaj ki raat

chand ek matla-e-anwar-e-darakhshan hi sahi
ek taswir hai hairat ki magar aaj ki raat

jalwa-e-husn ke ikhraj ka aalam dekho
meri nazron mein hain raqsan se sharar aaj ki raat

jazba-e-sharm ne chhidkaw kiya shabnam ka
rukh-e-gulnar hai ek shoala-e-tar aaj ki raat

mai-e-ulfat ka chhalakta hua paimana hai
us ki sharmili si tirchhi si nazar aaj ki raat

ye dua-e-dil-e-masum uluhi ho qubul
ta-qayamat rahe mahrum sahar aaj ki raat
