% Solo Version:

gaye dino.n kaa suraaG lekar kidhar se aayaa kidhar gayaa wo
ajiib maanuus ajanabii thaa mujhe to hairaan kar gayaa wo

wo hijr kii raat kaa sitaaraa wo ham-nafas ham-suKan hamaaraa
sadaa rahe usakaa naam pyaaraa sunaa hai kal raat mar gayaa wo

wo raat kaa be-navaa musaafir wo teraa shaa_ir wo teraa 'naasir'
terii galii tak to hamane dekhaa thaa phir na jaane kidhar gayaa wo
