yaad jo baysheer ki aati rahi
raat bhar maa dil ko behlati rahi

tashnakamo ki jo yaad aati rahi
alqama reh reh ke balkhati rahi
raat bhar maa dil ko behlati rahi

leke aate hai chacha pani abhi
ye Sakeena sab ko samjhati rahi
raat bhar maa dil ko behlati rahi

bole Sheh awaaz do Akbar mujhe
roshni aankhon ki ab jaati rahi
raat bhar maa dil ko behlati rahi

roke laila ne kaha Akbar ke saath
dil ki har ek aarzoo jaati rahi
raat bhar maa dil ko behlati rahi

muddato Bano ke kaano may sada
Asghare bayshher ki aati rahi
raat bhar maa dil ko behlati rahi

suye koofa khaafila badta raha
aur Sakeena gHurkiya khaati rahi
raat bhar maa dil ko behlati rahi

raat bhar Akbar to soye chain se
maa sarahne ashk barsaati rahi
raat bhar maa dil ko behlati rahi

Sheh ka gham jab se Mujahid* ko mila
har ghamo fiqre jahan jati rahi
raat bhar maa dil ko behlati rahi
