sham aai teri yaadon ke sitare nikle

shaam aa.ī tirī yādoñ ke sitāre nikle

rañg hī ġham ke nahīñ naqsh bhī pyāre nikle

ek mauhūm tamannā ke sahāre nikle

chāñd ke saath tire hijr ke maare nikle

koī mausam ho magar shān-e-ḳham-o-pech vahī

raat kī tarah koī zulf sañvāre nikle

raqs jin kā hameñ sāhil se bahā laayā thā

vo bhañvar aañkh tak aa.e to kināre nikle

vo to jaañ le ke bhī vaisā hī subuk-nām rahā

ishq ke baab meñ sab jurm hamāre nikle

ishq dariyā hai jo tere vo tahī-dast rahe

vo jo Duube the kisī aur kināre nikle

dhuup kī rut meñ koī chhāñv ugātā kaise

shāḳh phūTī thī ki ham-sāyoñ meñ aare nikle

sham aai teri yaadon ke sitare nikle

rang hi gham ke nahin naqsh bhi pyare nikle

ek mauhum tamanna ke sahaare nikle

chand ke sath tere hijr ke mare nikle

koi mausam ho magar shan-e-KHam-o-pech wahi

raat ki tarah koi zulf sanware nikle

raqs jin ka hamein sahil se baha laya tha

wo bhanwar aankh tak aae to kinare nikle

wo to jaan le ke bhi waisa hi subuk-nam raha

ishq ke bab mein sab jurm hamare nikle

ishq dariya hai jo tere wo tahi-dast rahe

wo jo Dube the kisi aur kinare nikle

dhup ki rut mein koi chhanw ugata kaise

shaKH phuTi thi ki ham-sayon mein aare nikle
