Ro raha tha main bhari barsat thi

ro raha tha main bhari barsat thi
haal kya khulta andheri raat thi

mere nalon se hai barham baghban
ye KHafa hone ki koi baat thi

din nahin dekha siwa-e-sham-e-hijr
zindagi-bhar mein yahi ek raat thi

nala-o-ah-o-fughan se baDh gai
warna ulfat ek zara si baat thi

hashr tak laya jahan se dard-e-dil
kis ko deta kya koi saughat thi

band kin aankhen ki dekhun KHwab-e-subh
khol kar jab aankh dekha raat thi

ai saba ghunchon ne hans kar kya kaha
un ka qissa tha ki meri baat thi

allah allah wahdat-e-sham-e-firaq
ek meri ek us ki zat thi

aap hi gin den masaib hijr ke
yun to kahne ke liye ek raat thi

hichkiyon se raaz-e-ulfat khul gaya
aa gai munh par jo dil mein baat thi

sham-e-marqad tujh se shikwa hai mujhe
mere ghar mein bhi andheri raat thi

kuchh na kuchh 'saqib' ne paida kar liya
ye zamin to dushman-e-abyat thi
