Raat katti rahi chand dhalta raha.
Aatish-e-hijar mein koi jalta raha.
Ghar ki tanhayan dil ko dasti raheen..
Koi bechain karwat badalta raha.
Aas-o-umeed ki shama roshan rahi.
Ghar ki dehleez ko koi takta raha.
Raat bhar chandni gungunati rahi.
Raat bhar koi tanha sisakta raha.
Ashk palkon pey aa k bikharte rahe.
Naam lab par kisi ka larazta raha.
Ajj phir raat basar ho hi gai.
Ajj phir koi khud se olajta raha.
Yun Umeed-e-Sehar ka koi intizaar karta raha..
