raat ka dard

Phir se chhayye hain kaalee raatein
Dil dehlaati hai firaq ki raatein

Khayaal e yaar ajab nuskha tha
Jaagte jaagte kaate wehshi raatein

Har taare mein bhed unka nayaa paata hoon
Kyon na pyaare lage aakhree raatein

Kaun shamaa kaun parwaana hai
Dil jalaa hai aur bujhee raatein

Kaasa hai par likha bahut hai
Hai koi musalsal kahaani raatein

Maah o anjum bas bahaana hai
Kis ke liye sajti sanwartee raatein

Tere paayal sannaate mein haaye
Kaise din the aur thee kaisi raatein

Josh o junoon ajab tha us waqt
Kya kya fasaane banaatee raatein

Siyaahi mein ghultee noor ki boondein
Kya kya fusoon dikhlaatee raatein

Dard ka nagma band ho maazoor
Aankhein kholo chaayee raatein
