Ai Hijr-zada Shab

ai hijr-zada shab

aa tu hi mere sine se lag ja ki bate gham

ehsas ko tanhai ki manzil se mile rah

aawaz ki gumnam zaminon ko mile nam

aa kuchh to ghaTe gham

is saat-e-mahjur ki fariyaad ho maddham

kyun nauha-ba-lb phirti hai mahrum-e-muKHatab

ai hijr-zada shab

dekh aaj tamannaon ki be-samt hawaen

dil-e-sharminda-nazar ko

phir le ke chali hain wahi be-raKHt hawaen

usi jadu ke nagar ko

jis KHak pe utre the muradon ke sahife

sanki thi jahan sabz hawa, ku-e-wafa ki

mahke the jahan phul-sifat rang kisi ke

us KHak ka har rup mere waste zindan

kuchh ruThe hue KHwab hain kuchh TuTe hue man

kuchh barse hue abr hain kuchh tarse hue lab

ai hijr-zada shab

aa tu hi gale lag ke bata kaun yahan hai

juz KHud-sari-e-mauj-e-hawa kaun yahan hai

hamdard mera tere siwa kaun yahan hai

aa chum lun aankhen teri ruKHsar tere lab

ai hijr-zada shab
