Maine shaam ko dhalte dekha

har haseen shaam ko maine tanha rehke dhalte dekha,
na aaye tum kabhi, maine bas waqt ko nikalte dekha,

kuch chiraag jalaaye the is ummeed me ki tum aaoge,
ummeed ke chiraagon ko maine har ghadi jalte dekha,

thaamaa tha kabhi mera haath, kuch kasme khaayi thi,
kasme toot gayi aur maine us haath ko fisalte dekha,

kehte ho ki maine chhoo ke tumhe kohinoor kar diyaa,
maine waqt ke saath heere ko mitti me badalte dekha,

mohabbat jaisa hasi inaam paake log bhul jaate hain,
todke dil chaahat me kai logon ko main chalte dekha,

kai baar farebi aansuon ko aankhon se nikalte dekha,
chot khaake sakht paththaron ko maine pighalte dekha,

jab saath tha main tumhaare tumne meri qadar nahi ki,
maine har roz tumhaari mohabbat ko bas badalte dekha,

har haseen shaam ko maine tanha rehke dhalte dekha,
na aaye tum kabhi, maine bas waqt ko nikalte dekha....
