shab-e-firaaq hai aur nii.nd aa_ii jaatii hai
kuchh isame.n unakii tawajjuh bhii paa_ii jaatii hai

hamii.n pe ishq kii tohamat lagaa_ii jaatii hai
magar ye sharm jo chehare pe chhaa_ii jaatii hai

vo maikadaa hai terii a.njuman Kudaa rakkhe
jahaa.N Kayaal se pahale pilaa_ii jaatii hai

qariib ma.nzil-e-aaKir hai al-firaaq 'jigar'
safar tamaam huaa, nii.nd aa_ii jaatii hai
