ye shafaq shaam ho rahee hai ab
aur har gaam ho rahee hai ab
jis tabaahee se log bachate the
vo sare aam ho rahee hai ab
azamate-mulk is siyaasat ke
haath neelaam ho rahee hai ab
shab ganeemat thee, log kahate hain
subh badanaam ho rahee hai ab
jo kiran thee kisee dareeche kee
maraqaze baam ho rahee hai ab
tishna-lab teree phusaphusaahat bhee
ek paigaam ho rahee hai ab
