Aap ki yaad aati rahi raat bhar,

Aap ki yaad aati rahi raat bhar,
chandani dil dukhati rahi raat bhar.

Gaah jalti hui gaah bujhti hui,
shaam-e ghum jhilmilaati rahi raat bhar.

Koi khushbu badalti rahi pairahan,
koi tasweer gaati rahi raat bhar.

Phir saba saaya-e shaakh-e gul ke taley,
koi qissa sunaati rahi raat bhar.

Jo na aaya usey koi zanzeer-e dar,
har sadaa par bulati rahi raat bhar.

Ek umeed se dil behalta raha,
ek tammanna sataati rahi raat bhar. !!
