Aa ae shab-E-firaq

Kuch yaad'gar-E-shehr-E-sitamgar hi ly chalain
Aye haiN is gali me
to pathar hi ly chalain

YoN kis trah kty ga kaRi dhoop ka safar
Sir pr khyal-e-yaar ki
chaadar hi ly chalain

Ranj-E-safar ki koi nishani to paas ho
Thori si khak-E-koocha-E-dilbar hi ly chalain

Ye keh k cheRti hy humaiN dilgiraftagi
Ghabra gye haiN ap
to bahar hi ly chalain

Is shehr-E-be'chiraGh me jaye gi tu kahaN
Aa ae shab-E-firaq
tujhe ghar hi ly chalain
