Dil hai aaiinaa-e-hairat se dochaar aaj kii raat
Gam-e-dauraan men hai aks-e-Gam-e-yaar aaj kii raat
Aatish-e-gul ko daaman se havaa detii hai
diidanii hai ravish-e-mauj-e-bahaar aaj kii raat
Aaj kii raat kaa mahamaan hai malbuus-e-hariir
is chaman-zaar men ugate hain sharar aaj kii raat
Main ne farahad kii aagosh men shiriin dekhii
main ne paravez ko dekhaa sar-e-daar aaj kii raat
jo chaman sarf-e-Khizaan hain vo bulaate hain mujhe
mujhe fursat nahiin ai jaan-e-bahaar aaj kii raat
dar-e-yazadaan pe bhii jhukatii nahiin is vaqt jabiin
mujh se aankhen na laDaa aaj kii raat
Mashaal-e-sher kaa laayaa huun chadhaavaa "Abid"
jagamagaaten hain shahiidon ke mazaar aaj kii raat
