jab āftāb ghar pe bulāyā thā shaam ne
kyā kyā diye the jin ko jalāyā thā shaam ne
kyā kyā ḳhushī thī va.ada-e-māh-e-tamām kī
ghar ko bhisht-zār banāyā thā shaam ne
kyā kyā the ḳhvāb raat jo ta.abīr ho ga.e
kyā kyā diloñ meñ hashr uThāyā thā shaam ne
kyā kyā uḌī thī gardish-e-daurāñ ke dil meñ ḳhaak
jab ratjage se haath milāyā thā shaam ne
kyā kyā gumāñ mahakne lage the pas-e-ḳhayāl
jab muskurā ke jaam uThāyā thā shaam ne
kyā kyā sahar ne phuul khilā.e pas–e-shafaq
kyā kyā dayār-e-shab ko sajāyā thā shaam ne
