chandni raat baDi der ke baad aai hai
lab pe ek baat baDi der ke baad aai hai
jhum kar aaj ye shab-rang laTen bikhra de
dekh barsat baDi der ke baad aai hai
dil-e-majruh ki ujDi hui KHamoshi se
bu-e-naghmat baDi der ke baad aai hai
aaj ki raat wo aae hain baDi der ke baad
aaj ki raat baDi der ke baad aai hai
aah taskin bhi ab 'saif' shab-e-hijran mein
akasr auqat baDi der ke baad aai hai
Ghazal
Chandni raat baDi der ke baad aai hai
