Shaam dhal chuki hai

Shaam dhal chuki hai,

Chand aur taaron ne' falak mein jaise' koi mehfil sajaya hai.

Mehakti hui fiza bhi jaise' raunaqi andaaz mein hai,

Khubsoorat chehron mein zulfon se' jaise' kuch guftagu kar raha hai.

Tanhai ka mahaul zaroor hai,

Magar phir bhi kudrat mein kitni raunaq hai.

Kyon nahi, iss lajawaab mahaul mein koi baat zaroor hai,

Jo khamoshi mein bhi naa jaane kitne' kamaal ke lamhe mehsoos kara raha hai.
