Mahfil mein aate jate hain insan nae nae

mahfil mein aate jate hain insan nae nae
ab to chalan liye hain meri jaan nae nae

us zulf o ruKH ke ishq ka charcha hua ye kuchh
hairan nae nae hain pareshan nae nae

aa aa ke apni apni sunata hai har koi
zaKHm-e-jigar pe hain namak-afshan nae nae

mujh ko suna ke kahte hain logon ko is se kya
andaz hum ne sikhe hain han han nae nae

aa jaen hum bhi yaad kisi baat par kabhi
aashiq hue hain ab to meri jaan nae nae

har dam nai nai hai KHalish meri jaan ko
lati hai ranj-o-gham shab-e-hijran nae nae

baaton par un ki kyun na yaqin aae phir mujhe
qasmen nai nai hain to paiman nae nae

gar ab ke wasl ho to na manun mein ek bhi
dil ke nikalun hasrat-o-arman nae nae

sau sau tarah satati hai ek ek ki yaad ab
shab aap ne kiye the jo ehsan nae nae

kis kis ki roz roz KHushamad kiya karen
hote hain un ke dar pe to darban nae nae

ummid bhi kabhi kabhi naumidi hai mujhe
dikhlati rang hai shab-e-hijran nae nae

koi to aaj aaega phir kis liye 'nizam'
tajwizen hain nai nai saman nae nae
