aaj qismat se nazar aai hai barsat ki raat
kya bigad jaega rah jao yahin raat ki raat

un ki pa-bosi ko jae to saba kah dena
aaj tak yaad hai wo aap ke gujraat ki raat

jis mein salma ke tasawwur ke hain tare raushan
meri aankhon hai wo aalam-e-jazbaat ki raat

hae wo mast ghata hae wo salma ki ada
aah wo rud-e-chanab aah wo gujraat ki raat

mere sine mein idhar zulf-e-muattar ka hujum
aah wo zulf ki aawara kharabaat ki raat

sath-e-doya pe idhar nashshe mein lahrai hui
rang lai hui chhai hui barsat ki raat

uf wo soi hui khoi hui fitrat ki bahaar
uf wo mahki hui bahki hui barsat ki raat

phir wo arman ham-aghoshi ka jazb-e-gustakh
aah wo raat wo salma se mulaqat ki raat

kyun na un donon pe mitne ki ho hasrat akhtar
uf wo us raat ki baat aah wo us baat ki raat
