raste mein sham ho gai qissa tamam ho chuka
jo kuchh bhi tha ai zindagi wo tere nam ho chuka

kab ki guzar gai wo shab jis mein kisi ka nur tha
kab ki gali mein dhup hai jina haram ho chuka

phirte rahen nagar nagar kucha-ba-kucha dar-ba-dar
apne khiyam jal chuke apna salam ho chuka

raat mein baqi kuchh nahin nind mein baqi kuchh nahin
apna har ek khwab to nazr-e-awam ho chuka

us ke labon ki guftugu karte rahe subu subu
yani sukhan hue tamam yani kalam ho chuka

ishq gar aisa ishq hai aaankhon se bahne do lahu
zist gar aisi zist hai apna to kaam ho chuka

raste tamam ho gae us ki gali ke aas-pas
yani khiram ho chuka yani qayam ho chuka
