Har haal mein hum behaal rahe  
Gham-e-jaan se har dam ndhaal rahe  

Tumhari chahat ki rahguzar mein  
Kabhi khaak, kabhi paimaal rahe  

Na khwab bane, na taabeer mili  
Bas azaab hi azaab ke hamaal rahe  

Dhoop sehte guzargayi sadiyaan  
Shab-e-hijr ke hi sawaal rahe  

Mohabbat ke saahil bhi door the  
Aur dil ke toofaan be-zawaal rahe  

Shajar-e-umeed ka saaya na mila  
Hum faseel-e-gham ke kamaal rahe  

Jo charaagh jalaye the aarzu ke  
Wahi aandhiyon mein bemisaal rahe  

Rah-e-wafa mein the zakhm beshumaar  
Phir bhi hanste rahe, lajawab rahe  

Humne socha tha dil ka dard sunayein  
Magar lab pe qufl, aur sawaal rahe  

Har shaam ne tanhai ka zehar diya  
Har raat ke geet bhi malaal rahe

Guzar ta nahi ye shaam-e-gham  
Zindagi ke dukhon ka hai peham sitam  

Qadam qadam par thakan ka pehra  
Himaton ke chiragh bhi ** gaye madhham  

Musaafir hoon raahon ka jin ko khabar  
Manzilon ka saraab hai, dil ka maatam  

Khawab jo bune the, reza reza huye  
Haath khaali rahe, na raha koi dum  

Sawaal ye hai, aye falak-e-jafa  
Kitna aur sehna hai, bata ye sanam  

Guzar jaye ye shaam-e-gham kisi tarah  
Warna raah mein bikhar jayein hum
