Aaya hai to ruk bhi ja, jaan-e jigar baat kar
Aa ab sukhan aazma, ab raat bhar baat kar
Ik raat ki baat hai, barsaat ki raat hai
Daikhon tri reh guzar, to hai kidhar baat kar
To kyun hai mujh se khafa, yeh raah hai kyun judda
Tairay liye hi hua mein dar badar baat kar
Mein hon tra raazadan, to hai mra aaina
Phir kyun hai yeh talkhiyan, aisa nah kar baat kar
Dhoonday tujhe yeh nazar, baatein tri khoob tar
Jo aaj phir ho assar, ae ba assar baat kar
Arsalan ahmed akif
