Hai bhare darakhtoN ke baa wajood ban tanha
Roz O shab k hangaame phir bhi anjuman tanha

RatjagoN ke woh saathi kis jahaaN meN baste haiN
Kya hamiN tak aayegi subh ki kiran tanha

Rah gayiN kahaaN pichhe gesuuoN ki barsaateN
Mere ghar tak aayihai boo E  yasman tanha

Wo to khair yuN kahiye, zauQ E husn hamdam tha
Jooye sheer kya laataa azm E kohkan tanha

Haaye yeh shab E vaadaa, dil ka haal kya kahiye
Hujla E uroosii meN jis tarah dulhan tanha

Jaane kis shabistaaN meN kaun jaagta hoga
Nisf shab ko nikli hia ek gulbadan tanha
