mohabbat aah teri ye mohabbat raat bhar ki hai
teri rangin khalwat ki latafat raat bhar ki hai

tere shadab honton ki inayat raat bhar ki hai
tere mastana boson ki halawat raat bhar ki hai

mah-e-raushan hai tu aur teri talat raat bhar ki hai
gul-e-shabbu hai tu aur teri nikhat raat bhar ki hai

tu kya jaane ki sauda-e-mohabbat kis ko kahte hain
mohabbat aur mohabbat ki latafat kis ko kahte hain

gham-e-hijran hai kya aur soz-e-ulfat kis ko kahte hain
junun hota hai kaisa aur wahshat kis ko kahte hain

tu kya jaane gham-e-shab-ha-e-furqat kis ko kahte hain
tere izhaar-e-ulfat ki fasahat raat bhar ki hai

nigah-e-mast se dil ko mere tadpa rahi hai tu
ada-e-shauq se jazbaat ko bhadka rahi hai tu

mujhe bachche ki surat naz se phusla rahi hai tu
khilaune de ke boson ke mujhe bahla rahi hai tu

magar nadan hai tu aah dhoka kha rahi hai tu
tera ru-e-darakhshan hai ba-zahir mahtab-asa

tere honton ki shadabi hai rangat mein sharab-asa
tere rukhsar ki mahtabiyan hain aaftab-asa

magar in ki haqiqat hai habab-asa sarab-asa
ki ghaze ki sabahat us pe chhai hai naqab-asa

aur is ghaze ki bhi jhuti sabahat raat bhar ki hai
ye mana teri khalwat ki faza ruh-e-gulistan hai

teri khalwat ka har fanus ek mahtab-e-larzan hai
tera abreshmi bistar nahin ek khwab-e-khandan hai

tera jism aafat-e-dil tera sina aafat-e-jaan hai
tu ek zinda sitara hai jo tanhai mein taban hai

magar kahte hain taron ki hukumat raat bhar ki hai
latafat se hain khali tere kumhlae hue bose

tarawat se hain khali tere murjhae hue bose
nazakat se hain khali tere ghabrae hue bose

haqiqat se hain khali tere sharmae hue bose
mohabbat se hain khali tere ghabrae hue bose

aur in boson ki ye jhuti halawat raat bhar ki hai
tere zahrile bose mujh ko jis dam yaad aaenge

mere honton pe kale nag ban kar thartharaenge
pashemani ke jazbe mujh ko diwana banaenge

mere inkar ko nafrat ke khanjar gudgudaenge
mere dil ki ragon mein gham ke shoale tair jaenge

main samjha! aah samjha! ye masarrat raat bhar ki hai
mujhe diwana karne ki masarrat be-khabar kab tak

rahegi mere dil mein teri ulfat kargar kab tak
mujhe mashur rakkhega ye ishq-e-be-samar kab tak

haqiqat ki sahar aakhir na hogi parda-dar kab tak
mujhe maghlub kar ke khush hai tu zalim magar kab tak

teri ye fath meri ye hazimat raat bhar ki hai
