khinch kar is mah-ru ko aaj yan lai hai raat
khīñch kar is māh-rū ko aaj yaañ laa.ī hai raat
ye ḳhudā ne muddatoñ meñ ham ko dikhlā.ī hai raat
chāñdnī hai raat hai ḳhalvat hai sehn-e-bāġh hai
jaam bhar saaqī ki ye qismat se haath aa.ī hai raat
be-hijāb aur be-takalluf ho ke milne ke liye
vo to Thahrāte the din par ham ne Thahrā.ī hai raat
jab maiñ kahtā huuñ kisī shab ko to kāfir yaañ bhī aa
hañs ke kahtā hai miyāñ haañ vo bhī banvā.ī hai raat
kyā maza ho haath meñ zulfeñ hoñ aur yuuñ pūchhiye
ai mirī jaañ sach kaho to kitnī ab aa.ī hai raat
jab nashe kī lahr meñ baal us parī ke khul ga.e
sub.h tak phir to chaman meñ kyā hī lahrā.ī hai raat
daur meñ husn-e-bayāñ ke ham ne dekhā bār-hā
ruḳh se ghabrāyā hai din zulfoñ se ghabrā.ī hai raat
hai shab-e-vasl aaj to dil bhar ke sovegā 'nazīr'
us ne ye kitne dinoñ meñ aish kī paa.ī hai raat
khinch kar is mah-ru ko aaj yan lai hai raat
ye KHuda ne muddaton mein hum ko dikhlai hai raat
chandni hai raat hai KHalwat hai sehn-e-bagh hai
jam bhar saqi ki ye qismat se hath aai hai raat
be-hijab aur be-takalluf ho ke milne ke liye
wo to Thahraate the din par hum ne Thahrai hai raat
jab main kahta hun kisi shab ko to kafir yan bhi aa
hans ke kahta hai miyan han wo bhi banwai hai raat
kya maza ho hath mein zulfen hon aur yun puchhiye
ai meri jaan sach kaho to kitni ab aai hai raat
jab nashe ki lahr mein baal us pari ke khul gae
subh tak phir to chaman mein kya hi lahrai hai raat
daur mein husn-e-bayan ke hum ne dekha bar-ha
ruKH se ghabraya hai din zulfon se ghabrai hai raat
hai shab-e-wasl aaj to dil bhar ke sowega 'nazir'
us ne ye kitne dinon mein aish ki pai hai raat
