charaghon ki lau bujh gai so gai

charāġhoñ kī lau bujh ga.ī so ga.ī

sar-e-shām hī raushnī so ga.ī

kisī saaz par naach kar ye huā

kahīñ farsh par gir ga.ī so ga.ī

sunī der tak loriyāñ god meñ

bahut thak ga.ī chāñdnī so ga.ī

abhī os sone de us ko zarā

abhī phuul kī pankhuḌī so ga.ī

kivāḌoñ ke paT band kar ke kanīz

dar-e-hijr par jāgtī so ga.ī

siyah raat meñ baal khole hue

udāsī badan nochtī so ga.ī

ka.ī shab kī jaagī huī sāñvlī

lihāf oḌh kar jald hī so ga.ī

charaghon ki lau bujh gai so gai

sar-e-sham hi raushni so gai

kisi saz par nach kar ye hua

kahin farsh par gir gai so gai

suni der tak loriyan god mein

bahut thak gai chandni so gai

abhi os sone de us ko zara

abhi phul ki pankhuDi so gai

kiwaDon ke paT band kar ke kaniz

dar-e-hijr par jagti so gai

siyah raat mein baal khole hue

udasi badan nochti so gai

kai shab ki jagi hui sanwli

lihaf oDh kar jald hi so gai
