jab aaftab ghar pe bulaya tha sham ne
kya kya diye the jin ko jalaya tha sham ne

kya kya khushi thi wada-e-mah-e-tamam ki
ghar ko bhisht-zar banaya tha sham ne

kya kya the khwab raat jo tabir ho gae
kya kya dilon mein hashr uthaya tha sham ne

kya kya udi thi gardish-e-dauran ke dil mein khak
jab ratjage se hath milaya tha sham ne

kya kya guman mahakne lage the pas-e-khayal
jab muskura ke jam uthaya tha sham ne

kya kya sahar ne phul khilae pas--e-shafaq
kya kya dayar-e-shab ko sajaya tha sham ne
