shab kī tanhā.ī meñ jab dil kī navā baat kare
āsmānoñ se koī ban ke du'ā baat kare
vo mah-e-tābāñ lab-e-bām hai zulfeñ khole
chāñd sharmā.e sitāroñ kī ridā baat kare
paas baiThe vo koī der ḳhamoshī sun le
maiñ ne kab chāhā ki mujh se vo sadā baat kare
hai fazāoñ meñ bhalā kis kī nidā ghul sī ga.ī
us ke lahje meñ hī ab āb-o-havā baat kare
phuul murjhā ga.e gulshan ke sabhī bād-e-sabā
us se kahiyo ki vo ab bahr-e-ḳhudā baat kare
shab ki tanhai mein jab dil ki nawa baat kare
aasmanon se koi ban ke du'a baat kare
wo mah-e-taban lab-e-baam hai zulfen khole
chand sharmae sitaron ki rida baat kare
pas baiThe wo koi der KHamoshi sun le
main ne kab chaha ki mujh se wo sada baat kare
hai fazaon mein bhala kis ki nida ghul si gai
us ke lahje mein hi ab aab-o-hawa baat kare
phul murjha gae gulshan ke sabhi baad-e-saba
us se kahiyo ki wo ab bahr-e-KHuda baat kare
