Raat khamosh hui aur pukari gayi subah
Saas leti hui khidki mein sanwari gayi subah
Ae sukhan saaz badan tere liye shaam bani
Ae raza mand hansi tujh pe utaari gayi subah
Ae siyah zulf, yeh jungle ka andhera teri kho
Ae chamakdar jabeen, tujh se nikhari gayi subah
Aisa lagta hai ke footpath pe kheli gayi taash
Aisa lagta hai joay mein kahin haari gayi subah
Khauf itna tha ke aankhon mein kahin neend na thi
Khawab aisa tha ke so so ke guzaari gayi subah
Raat mashriq ki taraf dheeron sitare toote
Raat sunne mein yeh aaya tha ke maari gayi subah
Saas leti hui khidki mein sanwari gayi subah
Ae sukhan saaz badan tere liye shaam bani
Ae raza mand hansi tujh pe utaari gayi subah
Ae siyah zulf, yeh jungle ka andhera teri kho
Ae chamakdar jabeen, tujh se nikhari gayi subah
Aisa lagta hai ke footpath pe kheli gayi taash
Aisa lagta hai joay mein kahin haari gayi subah
Khauf itna tha ke aankhon mein kahin neend na thi
Khawab aisa tha ke so so ke guzaari gayi subah
Raat mashriq ki taraf dheeron sitare toote
Raat sunne mein yeh aaya tha ke maari gayi subah
