shab-e-siyāh hai naddī ke paas baiThe haiñ
kisī kī yaad meñ tanhā udaas baiThe haiñ
guzar rahe haiñ manāzir nazar ke aage se
sabhī se chhupte hue bad-havās baiThe haiñ
jage sitāroñ kī mahfil ujaḌne vaalī hai
idhar pahan ke añdhere libās baiThe haiñ
hamāre ba.ad use kaun hai jo suntā ho
fareb khā ke bhī ham us ke paas baiThe haiñ
yahī maqām thā āḳhir meñ ishq vāloñ kā
ġhamoñ se duur kahīñ ġham-shanās baiThe haiñ
shab-e-siyah hai naddi ke pas baiThe hain
kisi ki yaad mein tanha udas baiThe hain
guzar rahe hain manazir nazar ke aage se
sabhi se chhupte hue bad-hawas baiThe hain
jage sitaron ki mahfil ujaDne wali hai
idhar pahan ke andhere libas baiThe hain
hamare baad use kaun hai jo sunta ho
fareb kha ke bhi hum us ke pas baiThe hain
yahi maqam tha aaKHir mein ishq walon ka
ghamon se dur kahin gham-shanas baiThe hain
