Jab raat gaye tiri yaad aayii, sau tareh se jii ko behlaayaa,
kabhii apne hii dil se baateN kiiN, kabhii terii yaad ko samjhaayaa,
yuuNhii vaqt gaNvaaya motii saa, yuuNhii umr gaNvaayii sone sii,
sach kehte ho tum bhii ham suKhanoN, is ishq meiN ham ne kyaa paayaa,
jab pehl-e-pehl tujhe dekhaa thaa, dil kitne zor se dhaRkaa thaa,
vo lehr na dil meiN phir jaagii, voh vaqt na lauT ke phir aayaa,
phir aaj tire darvaaze par, baRii der ke baad gayaa thaa magar,
ek baat achaanak yaad aayii, maiN baahar hii se lauT aaya.
