Wo Shab-e-gham Jo Kam Andheri Thi

wo shab-e-gham jo kam andheri thi

wo bhi meri ana ki subki thi

gham meri zindagi mein TuT gira

warna ye shor-dar naddi thi

din bhi shab-rang ban gae apne

pahle suraj se aankh milti thi

kya maqalat-e-ashiqi paDhte

bazm mein hum ne aah khinchi thi

jal rahe the hare-bhare jangal

aisi be-waqt aag phaili thi

main khaDa tha ukhaDte patthar par

wo usi tarah shant lagti thi

is liye be-karan mein ja pahunche

dur tak rahguzar andheri thi

is liye shahr mein rahe betab

tab-kari hawa mein phaili thi

chand roz aur muntazir rahte

waise mil kar bhi jaan deni thi

shab-e-ranj-o-mahan ka zikr na kar

us ki har ek ghaDi nashili thi

hum bhi 'aslam' isi guman mein hain

hum ne bhi koi zindagi ji thi
