tha najm-e-bakht-tira muqabil tamam raat
ankhon tale phira mire qatil tamam raat
harut saan zaqan men raha dil tamam raat
guzri miyana-e-chah-e-babil tamam raat
kis gul ne gul kiya tha miri sham-e-gor ko
tha qabr par hujum-e-anadil tamam raat
dhabba lage na rang-e-safed-o-siyah men
hai go tamam din ke muqabil tamam raat
raushan thi subh tak mire madfan pe sham-e-tur
roya khade khade mira qatil tamam raat
ai rashk-e-mehr-o-mah tire munh par nisar hai
suraj tamam din mah-e-kamil tamam raat
jaati thi yaad gesu o rukh men falak pe aah
mahtab tha asir-e-salasil tamam raat
karte hain gul jo chaak gareban tamam din
sunte hain nala-ha-e-anadil tamam raat
kahta tha ‘arsh’ sach men samajhta tha jhuut yaar
karta raha hai haq ko vo batil tamam raat
