Mahmood Shaam
tapti hui rahon pe phiraya mujhe din-bhar
yuun tere tasavvur ne sataya mujhe din-bhar
dil men vo kasak chhoḌ gaya sub.h ka taara
ik lamha bhi aram na aaya mujhe din-bhar
viran bayaban men kabhi ujḌe gharon men
phirta raha le kar tira saaya mujhe din-bhar
deti rahi ye chandni shab-bhar mujhe avaz
suraj ne bhi rah rah ke bulaya mujhe din-bhar
har samt bhare shahr the kya janiye phir bhi
tanha.i ke ehsas ne khaya mujhe din-bhar
lahje men ghani chhanv ke patton ki zaban men
peḌon ne tira haal sunaya mujhe din-bhar
ik pal men hi batla ga.iin dam toḌti kirnen
vo raaz jo ai ‘sham’ na paaya mujhe din-bhar
