Din Dhala Shab Hui Charagh Jale

din Dhala shab hui charagh jale

bazm-e-rindan mein phir ayagh jale

dafatan aandhiyon ne ruKH badla

na-gahan aarzu ke bagh jale

aas Dubi to dil hua raushan

bujh gaya dil to dil ke dagh jale

jal-bujhe justuju ke parwane

mustaqil manzil-e-suragh jale

gah masrufiyat sulag uTThe

gah tanhai o faragh jale

aankhen karti hain shabnam-afshani

jab teri yaad mein dimagh jale

un ka chehra tah-e-naqab 'aKHtar'

jaise parde mein ek charagh jale
