zalzale sakht aate rahe rat-bhar
ghar ko dhate girate rahe rat-bhar
aap haan aate jaate rahe rat-bhar
vaza-dari nibhate rahe rat-bhar
saara din naqsh un ka banate rahe
ban gaya to mitate rahe rat-bhar
koi bhi ham ko hatim nahin kah saka
garche moti lutate rahe rat-bhar
din men sarmaya-kari jo ki dard ki
ham khasare chukate rahe rat-bhar
sub.h-dam ju-e-khun kaise vo ban gae
ham jo aansu bahate rahe rat-bhar
dekhiye sadgi aap ki dastan
aap hi ko sunate rahe rat-bhar
teri yadon ka savan barasta raha
gulistan ham khilate rahe rat-bhar
qamat-e-yar par aarzu ki qaba
dil ke hathon sajate rahe rat-bhar
lamha lamha mite ham koi gham nahin
aap ko to banate rahe rat-bhar
ham bisat-e-tamanna bichhate rahe
aate aate vo aate rahe rat-bhar
teri yadon ke lamhe bhi bedard the
tujh ko mujh se churate rahe rat-bhar
asman par sitare larazte rahe
ashk ‘tarzi’ bahate rahe rat-bhar
