ghor andhera

ḳhūn-chashīda sadiyoñ kā vo ghor-añdherā bikhar gayā

jañg-o-jadal kā jazba jaagā amn kā parcham utar gayā

nisf sadī Dhalne ko hai vo raat Dhale

phir bhī lahū kā biphrā dariyā jaarī hai

māsūmoñ ke nāloñ se

mazlūmoñ kī aahoñ se

insānoñ kī chīḳhoñ se

tharrāte haiñ vīrāne

sach kahtā hai raat Dhalī

raat Dhalī yā ḳhuun meñ Duubī havā chalī

terī baanī tū jaane

ham to Thahre dīvāne

koī maane yā na maane sau bātoñ kī baat hai ye

biitī shab thī pal do pal kī ek sadī kī raat hai ye

KHun-chashida sadiyon ka wo ghor-andhera bikhar gaya

jang-o-jadal ka jazba jaga amn ka parcham utar gaya

nisf sadi Dhalne ko hai wo raat Dhale

phir bhi lahu ka biphra dariya jari hai

masumon ke nalon se

mazlumon ki aahon se

insanon ki chiKHon se

tharraate hain virane

sach kahta hai raat Dhali

raat Dhali ya KHun mein Dubi hawa chali

teri bani tu jaane

hum to Thahre diwane

koi mane ya na mane sau baaton ki baat hai ye

biti shab thi pal do pal ki ek sadi ki raat hai ye
