subh to dekha tha waqt-e-sham aa kar dekhiye
apne diwane ka ab anjam aa kar dekhiye

kuchh nahin malum hai kis waqt ye dam tod de
haalat-e-bimar subh-o-sham aa kar dekhiye

lab pe aahen dil mein dhadkan timtimata ek charagh
kis qadar rangin hai meri sham aa kar dekhiye

naz se wo kah rahe hain rukh pe zulfen dal kar
subh pe chhai hui hai sham aa kar dekhiye

aap ki furqat mein khata hai jahan ki thokaren
bekasi-e-ashiq-e-nakaam aa kar dekhiye

dam-ba-dam ye bah raha hai kis ki aankhon se lahu
kaun hai ye larza-bar-andam aa kar dekhiye

jhilmilate hain hazaron aarzuon ke charagh
'jafari' ki qabr waqt-e-sham aa kar dekhiye
