Jab Sar-e-sham Koi Yaad Machal Jati Hai

jab sar-e-sham koi yaad machal jati hai

dil ke virane mein ek shama si jal jati hai

jab bhi aata hai kabhi tark-e-tamanna ka KHayal

le ke ek mauj kahin dur nikal jati hai

ye hai mai-KHana yahan waqt ka ehsas na kar

gardish-e-waqt yahan jam mein Dhal jati hai

KHwahish-e-zist gham-e-marg gham-e-sud-o-ziyan

zindagi chand khilaunon se bahal jati hai

jab wo hanste hue aate hain KHayalon mein 'kalim'

sham-e-gham subh-e-masarrat mein badal jati hai
