Tanhai Shabe Hijr Ki Tab Or bad gayi,
Roshan tha jo chiraag bujaa kar gayaa koi...
[ shabe hijr- night of seperation ]

Rehti hai abto nam ye aankhen meri hardam,
Kuch is tarah se mujhko hasaa kar gayaa koi...


Jaa-e-mulakat pe ab ham na milenge,
mehdi lagaye haath dikha kar gayaa koi...
[ jaae mulakaat- place of meeting ]

Do-zaanu hoke khaak pe mera zamir tha,
Kuch is tarah se mujhko lutaa kar gayaa koi...

Aadaab-e-shab-vasl ka hamko pataa na tha,
Ronaa gale lagaake sikha kar gayaa koi...
[shabe vasl- night of meeting]

Hotho Ko mere uske lapo par yu see diyaa,
Pyaasaa tha meri pyaas bujhaa kar gayaa koi...

Har ghar, gali, kuchaa, ye shaher bhi hai baakhabar,
Zindagi ko meri fanaa kar gayaa koi...

ANEES tu intezaar qyu uska na karega,
Hai itna pyaar tujhse jataa kar gayaa koi...
