aaj ki raat saz-e-dard na chheD
dukh se bharpur din tamam hue
aur kal ki KHabar kise malum
dosh-o-farda ki miT chuki hain hudud
ho na ho ab sahar kise malum
zindagi hech! lekin aaj ki raat
ezdiyyat hai mumkin aaj ki raat
aaj ki raat saz-e-dard na chheD
ab na dohra fasana-ha-e-alam
apni qismat pe sogwar na ho
fikr-e-farda utar de dil se
umr-e-rafta pe ashk-bar na ho
ahd-e-gham ki hikayaten mat puchh
ho chukin sab shikayaten mat puchh
aaj ki raat saz-e-dard na chheD
Nazm
Aaj ki raat
