ye shafaq sham ho rahi hai ab
aur har gam ho rahi hai ab

jis tabahi se log bachte the
wo sar-e-am ho rahi hai ab

azmat-e-mulk is siyasat ke
hath nilam ho rahi hai ab

shab ghanimat thi log kahte hain
subh badnam ho rahi hai ab

jo kiran thi kisi dariche ki
markaz-e-baam ho rahi hai ab

tishna-lab teri phusphusahat bhi
ek paigham ho rahi hai ab
