tuune dekhaa hai kabhii ek nazar shaam ke baad
kitane chup-chaap se lagate hai.n shajar shaam ke baad

itane chup-chaap ke raaste bhii rahe.nge laa-ilm
chho.D jaaye.nge kissi roz nagar shaam ke baad

mai.n ne aisee hii gunaah terii judaa_ii me.n kiye
jaise tuufaan me.n ko_ii chho.D de ghar shaam ke baad

shaam se pahale vo mast apanii u.Daano.n me.n rahaa
jis ke haatho.n me.n the TuuTe hue par shaam ke baad

raat biitii to gine aable aur phir sochaa
kaun thaa baa_is-e-aaGaaz-e-safar shaam ke baad

tuu hai suuraj tujhe maaluum kahaa.N raat kaa dukh
tuu kisii roz mere ghar me.n utar shaam ke baad

lauT aaye na kissi roz vo aavaaraa majaaz
khol rakhate hai.n isii aas pe dar shaam ke baad

samay samay kii Khalish me.n teraa malaal rahe
judaa_iiyo.n me.n bhii yuu.N aalam-e-visaal rahe 

anaa kii jang me.n ham jiit to gaye lekin
phir us ke baad bahut der tak niDhaal rahe 

raah-e junuu.N me.n yahii zaad-e-raah hotaa hai
ke justajuu ba.De divaanagii bahaal rahe 

hasii.n raate.n bhii mahake.n tumhaarii yaado.n se
ka.De dino.n me.n bhii pal pal teraa Khayaal rahe 

tuu ek baar zaraa kishtiyaa.N jalaa to sahii
hai kyaa majaal ke ek lamhaa bhii zavaal rahe 

mai.n ne dekhaa diivaano.n ko shaam ke baad
Dhuu.NDh rahe the viiraano.n ko shaam ke baad 

taariikii phir saare aib chhupaa legii
le aanaa ghar mahamaano.n ko shaam ke baad 

mai.n ne us kaa sog manayaa kuchh aisaa
Khaalii rakhaa paimaano.n ko shaam ke baad 

yaad kare jab mujh ko terii tanhaa_ii
dekhaa karanaa gul_daano.n ko shaam ke baad 

"Farhat" chaa.Nd ke Khauf se kar letaa huu.N band
kamare ke raushan_daano.n ko shaam ke baad 

aag ho to jalane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai
barf ke pighalane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai

chaahe ko_ii ruk jaaye chaahe ko_ii rah jaaye
qaafilo.n ko chalane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai

chaahe ko_ii jaisaa bhii ham_safar ho sadiyo.n se
raastaa badalane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai

ye to vaqt ke bas me.n hai ke kitanii mohalat de
varnaa baKht Dhakane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai

mom kaa badan lekar dhuup me.n nikal aanaa
aur phir pighalane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai

soch kii zamiino.n me.n raaste judaa ho.n to
duur jaa nikalane me.n der kitanii lagatii hai
