kis ke matam mein ro rahi hai raat
chhup ke banhon mein so rahi hai raat

dukh hai thahra hua nigahon mein
teri yaaden bilo rahi hai raat [...]

tha wada sham ka magar aae wo raat ko
main bhi kiwad kholne fauran nahin gaya

abhi raat kuchh hai baqi na utha naqab saqi
tera rind girte girte kahin phir sambhal na jae

as yet the night does linger on do not remove your veil
lest your besotten follower re-gains stability [...]

raat aai hai balaon se rihai degi
ab na diwar na zanjir dikhai degi

samundar bolta hai
samundar apni pur-asrar maujon ki zaban mein bolta hai

samundar ki sadaen chir deti hain shab-e-tarik ki chadar
ubal padti hain [...]

shab ke sannate mein ye kis ka lahu gata hai
sarhad-e-dard se ye kis ki sada aati hai
