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
