Yeh Shaam Shaam Zindagi

Andhyari raat ke aangan main yeh subh ke qadmon ki aahat
Yeh bheegi bheegi sard hawa, yeh halki halki dhundulahat
Gaari main hoon tanha mehv e safar aur neend nahi hai aankhon man
Bhoolay bisray armanon ke khwabon ki zameen hai aankhon main
Aglay din hath hilatay hain, pichli peetain yaad aati hain
Gumgashta khushiyan aankhon main aansu bun ke lehrati hain
Seenay ke weeran goshon main ik tees se karwat leti hai
Wo rahain zehen main ghoomti hain jin rahon se aaj aaya hoon
Kitni umeed se pohncha tha, kitni mayoosi laya hoon
