sham ki dhundli chhanw mein phaile hain sae dar ke

sajda karen ki aae hain zauq-e-namaz le ke hum

aae to the huzur-e-dil naz-o-niyaz le ke hum

raat Dhali hai chand gum dur jale hain do diye

raaz to hai pa kis ke pas jaen ye raaz le ke hum

raqs-e-sharar mein kho gae barq ke dil se mil gae

lala-o-gul mein khil gae maut ka raaz le ke hum
