shabanam kyuu.N niir bahaaye \-2
duniyaa soye
aur ye roye jaaye
shabanam kyuu.N niir bahaaye

jaise niradhan ke rone par \-2
ha.Nsate hai.n dhanavaan
vaise shabanam ke rone par \-2
kaliyo.n kii musakaan
shabanam roye
kaliyo.n kaa mu.Nh dhoye
( apanii jaan ga.Nvaa kar pagalii
jag me.n phuul khilaaye ) \-2
shabanam kyuu.N niir bahaaye \-2

muurakh hai.n jo chaar gha.Dii ke \-2
jiiwan par itaraate hai.n
ha.nsate phuulo.n ko dekho jo \-2
khilate hii murajhaate hai.n
shabanam roye
muurakh gaafil soye
( ro\-ro ke shabanam is jhuuThe
jag kaa bhed bataaye ) \-2
shabanam kyuu.N niir bahaaye \-2
