Jab raat hai aisee matvaalee, phir subah kaa aalam kyaa hogaa

ye dil kī lagī kam kyā hogī
ye īśhk bhalā kam kyā hogā
jab rāt hai aisī matvālī
phir subah kā ālam kyā hogā

nagmoṅ se barastī hai mastī
chhalke haiṅ khuśhī ke paimāne
āj aisī bahāreṅ āī haiṅ
kal jinke baneṅge aphsāne
ab is se jyādā aur hasīn
ye pyār kā mausam kyā hogā

ye āj kā raṅg aur ye mahphīl
dil bhī hai yahāṇ dildār bhī hai
āṇkhoṅ meṅ kayāmat ke jalve
sīneṅ meṅ taḍaptā pyār bhī hai
is raṅg meṅ koī jī le agar
marne kā use ग़m kyā hogā

hālat hai ajab divānoṅ kī
ab khair nahīṅ parvānoṅ kī
aṅjām-e-mohabbat kyā kahīe
lay baढ़ne lagī armānoṅ kī
aise meṅ jo pāyal ṭūṭ gaī
phir ai mere hamdam kyā hogā
