dard kam hone laga aao ki kuchh raat kate
gham ki miad badha jaao ki kuchh raat kate
hijr men ah-o-buka rasm-e-kohan hai lekin
aaj ye rasm hi doharao ki kuchh raat kate
yuun to tum raushni-e-qalb-o-nazar ho lekin
aaj vo moajiza dikhlao ki kuchh raat kate
dil dukhata hai vo mil kar bhi magar aaj ki raat
isi be-dard ko le aao ki kuchh raat kate
dam ghuta jaata hai afsurda-dili se yaaro
koi afvah hi phailao ki kuchh raat kate
main bhi be-kar huun aur tum bhi ho viran bahut
dosto aaj na ghar jaao ki kuchh raat kate
chhod aae ho sar-e-sham use kyuun ‘nasir’
use phir ghar se bala laao ki kuchh raat kate
