Raat be-KHwabiyon ka safar tere bin

raat be-KHwabiyon ka safar tere bin
din hai bechainiyon ka nagar tere bin

qurbaten faslon mein badalti rahin
bad-gumani har ek moD par tere bin

chandni mein sahar, husn, ThanDak na nur
aib tha us ka har ek hunar tere bin

KHwab KHana-ba-doshon se phirte rahe
nind bhi ho gai dar-ba-dar tere bin

mere baalon mein chandi pirote rahe
tez-raftar sham-o-sahar tere bin

phir tere lauTne ki KHabar aai thi
hum nahin the kabhi be-KHabar tere bin

aankhen jalti hain meri diyon ki jagah
sham se ghar ki dahliz par tere bin

ab na sawan, na jhule, na sakhiyan, na git
jaise KHamosh sara nagar tere bin

chandni DhunDhti thi tere naqsh-e-pa
raat, taron ki dahliz par tere bin
