shaam hotii hai sahar hotii hai ye vaqt-e-ravaa.N

jo kabhii mere sar pe sang-garaa.N ban ke giraa

raah me.n aayaa kabhii merii himaalaa ban kar

jo kabhii ukdaa banaa aisaa ki hal hii na huaa

ashk ban kar merii aa.Nkho.n se kabhii Tapakaa hai

jo kabhii Khuun-e-jigar ban ke mizshGaa.N par aayaa

aaj bevaastaa yuu.N guzaraa chalaa jaataa hai

jaise mai.n kashmakash-e-ziist me.n shaamil hii nahii.n
