Aaj ki raat saaz-e-dard na chairr

Aaj ki raat saaz-e-dard na chairr

Dukh se bhar'poor din tamaam huye

Aur kal ki khabar kissay maloom

Dosh-o-farda ki mit chuki hain hadood

Ho na ho ab sehar , kissay maloom ?

Zindagi heech ! lakin aaj ki raat

Azdiyat hai mumkin , Aaj ki raat

Aaj ki raat saz-e-dil na chairr


Ab na dohraa afsaana haye alam

Apni qismat pe so'gawaar na ho

Fikar-e-farda utaar dy dil se

Umar-e-rafta pe ashk'baar na ho

Ehad-e-gham ki hikayatein mat pooch

Ho chukein sab shikayatein mat pooch

Aaj ki raat saz-e-dil na chairr
