AaKHiri Raat

chand TuTa pighal gae tare

qatra qatra Tapak rahi hai raat

palken aankhon pe jhukti aati hain

ankhDiyon mein khaTak rahi hai raat

aaj chheDo na koi afsana

aaj ki raat hum ko sone do

khulte jate hain simTe-sukDe jal

ghulte jate hain KHun mein baadal

apne gulnar pankh phailae

aa rahe hain isi taraf jangal

gul karo shama, rakh do paimana

aaj ki raat hum ko sone do

sham se pahle mar chuka tha shahr

kaun darwaza khaTkhaTata hai

aur unchi karo ye diwaren

shor aangan mein aaya jata hai

kah do hai aaj band mai-KHana

aaj ki raat hum ko sone do

jism hi jism hain, kafan hi kafan

baat sunte na sar jhukate hain

amn ki KHair, kotwal ki KHair

murde qabron se nikle aate hain

koi apna na koi begana

aaj ki raat hum ko sone do

koi kahta tha, Thik kahta tha

sar-kashi ban gai hai sab ka shiar

qatl par jin ko e'tiraaz na tha

dafn hone ko kyun nahin tayyar

hosh-mandi hai aaj so jaana

aaj ki raat hum ko sone do
