huii shaam un kaa Kayaal aa gayaa
vahii zi.ndagii kaa savaal aa gayaa

abhii tak to ho.nTho.n pe thaa tabassum kaa ek silasilaa
bahut shaadamaa.n the ham unako bhulaakar
achaanak ye kyaa ho gayaa
ki chehare pe ra.ng-e-malaal aa gayaa ...

hame.n to yahii thaa guruur gam-e-yaar hai ham se duur
vahii Gam jise hamane kis-kis jatan se
nikaalaa thaa is dil se duur
vo chalakar qayaamaat kii chaal aa gayaa ...
