Aey raat zaraa aahista guzar

Ashoor ki shab Zainab ney kahaa,

Aey raat zaraa aahista guzar

Ehsaan tera mujh par hogaa,

Aey raat zaraa aahista guzar

Lutjaaeingay kal khaimey saarey,

Jal jaayegi masnad Ahmed ki

Hojaayega kal khaali jhoola,

Aey raat zaraa aahista guzar

Suljhaaney baetthi hai Laila

Akber ki bikhri zulfoun ko

Maloom nahin kal kya hogaa,

Aey raat zaraa aahista guzar

Kal pyaasey baraati aayeingay

Kal Qasim ki shaadi hoveygi

Hojaayegi kal Kubra beywaa,

Aey raat zaraa aahista guzar

Abbas-e-Alambardaar bhi

Talwaar pa saiqal kartay hain

Kal inko hai johar dikhlaana,

Aey raat zaraa aahista guzar

Ek baar apney bharay ghar ko

Jee bharkay dekh toh ley Zainab

Kal hojaayega sannaata,

Aey raat zaraa aahista guzar

Jee bhar kay dekh toh ley aye Zainab

Aaj apney bhaayi ki soorath

Katt jaayega kal Sarwar ka gala

Aey raat zaraa aahista guzar

Kis yaas sey aur kis hasrat sey

Zainab yeh bayaan karti thi Sayeed

Aahista guzar aey raat zaraa,

Aey raat zaraa aahista guzar
