Shaam kay paich-o-kham sitaaron se

Shaam kay paich-o-kham sitaaron se

Zeena zeena , utar rahi hai raat

Youn saba paas se guzarti hai

Jaisay keh di kisi ne pyaar ki baat

Sehan-o-zindaan kay be'watan ashjaar

Sar nagoon mehav hain bananay main

Daaman-e-aasmaan pe naqsh-o-nigaar

Saneha-e-baam par damakta hai

Meharbaan chandani ka dasht-e-jameel

Khaak main ghull gaya hai aab-e-najoom

Noor main ghull gaya hai arsh ka neel

Sabz goshon main neelgon saaye

Leh'lahaatay hain , jis tarah dil main

Mouj-e-dard-e-firaaq-e-yaar aye

Dil se paihaam khyaal kehta hai

Itni sheerein hai zindagi is pal

Zulam ka zehar ghoolnay wale

Kamraan ho sakain gay aaj na kal

Jalwa gaah-e-wisaal ki shammain

Woh bhuja dil chukay , agar to kiya ?

Chaand ko gul karain , to hum jaanain
