qarib-e-akhir-e-shab hai mere gale lag jao
wida-e-sham-e-tarab hai mere gale lag jao

ab ek umr judai ke fasle honge
bas ek waqfa-e-shab hai mere gale lag jao

gila-guzar-e-zamana hun tum khafa kyun ho
gila to husn-e-talab hai mere gale lag jao

tamam umr jo rah rah ke yaad aaegi
yahi wo saat-e-shab hai mere gale lag jao

dayar-e-ghair mein tum ko kahan main dhundunga
ye khatm-e-ahd-e-tarab hai mere gale lag jao
