jalte jalte bujh gai ek mom-batti raat ko
jalte jalte bujh ga.ī ik mom-battī raat ko
mar ga.ī fāqa-zadā ma.asūm bachchī raat ko
āñdhiyoñ se kyā bachātī phuul ko kāñToñ kī baaḌ
sehn meñ bikhrī huī thī pattī pattī raat ko
kitnā bosīda durīda pairahan hai zeb-e-tan
vo jo charḳha kāTtī rahtī hai laḌkī raat ko
sehn meñ ik shor sā har aañkh hai hairat-zada
chūḌiyāñ sab toḌ diiñ dulhan ne pahlī raat ko
jab chalī ThanDī havā bachcha ThiThur kar rah gayā
maañ ne apne laal kī taḳhtī jalā dī raat ko
vaqt to har ek dar par dastakeñ detā rahā
ek saa.at ke liye jaagī na bastī raat ko
marġh-zār-e-shā.erī meñ gum rahā 'sabt-e-alī'
so ga.ī rah dekhte bīmār biivī raat ko
jalte jalte bujh gai ek mom-batti raat ko
mar gai faqa-zada masum bachchi raat ko
aandhiyon se kya bachati phul ko kanTon ki baD
sehn mein bikhri hui thi patti patti raat ko
kitna bosida durida pairahan hai zeb-e-tan
wo jo charKHa kaTti rahti hai laDki raat ko
sehn mein ek shor sa har aankh hai hairat-zada
chuDiyan sab toD din dulhan ne pahli raat ko
jab chali ThanDi hawa bachcha ThiThur kar rah gaya
man ne apne lal ki taKHti jala di raat ko
waqt to har ek dar par dastaken deta raha
ek saat ke liye jagi na basti raat ko
margh-zar-e-shaeri mein gum raha 'sabt-e-ali'
so gai rah dekhte bimar biwi raat ko
