raat bhar dida-e-namnak mein lahraate rahe
sans ki tarah se aap aate rahe jate rahe

khush the hum apni tamannaon ka khwab aaega
apna arman bar-afganda-naqab aaega

nazren nichi kiye sharmae hue aaega
kakulen chehre pe bikhrae hue aaega

aa gai thi dil-e-muztar mein shakebai si
baj rahi thi mere gham-khane mein shahnai si

patiyan khadkin to samjha ki lo aap aa hi gae
sajde masrur ki mabud ko hum pa hi gae

shab ke jage hue taron ko bhi nind aane lagi
aap ke aane ki ek aas thi ab jaane lagi

subh ne sej se uthte hue li angdai
o saba! tu bhi jo aai to akeli aai

mere mahbub meri nind udane wale
mere masjud meri ruh pe chhane wale

aa bhi ja, taki mere sajdon ka arman nikle
aa bhi ja, taki tere qadmon pe meri jaan nikle
