Paron may shaam dhalti hay
kahan jana tha mujh ko
kis nagar ki khaak baalon may sajana thi
muje kin tehnio se dhoop chunna thi
kahan kheema lgana tha
meri matti raah-e-syargaah ki humqadam nikli
meri palkon pe taare jhilmilaate hain
adan may aag jalti hay
magar paun may khoon aasham raaste larkharate hain
ye kia sheeraza bandi hay
ye meri bepari kis kunj se ho kar beham nikli
nazar may din nikaalta hay
Paron may shaam dhalti hay
magar main to lahun ki mujamid sil hun
badan ki kasht-e-weeran may
ye kis ki unglio ne umr bhar muj ko kareeda hay
kahan sharyan may chalta hua ye qafla thehra
k main is haath ki raikhaun may rang-e-hina thehra
kahan jana tha mujko
kis jaga kheema lgana tha!
kahan jana tha mujh ko
kis nagar ki khaak baalon may sajana thi
muje kin tehnio se dhoop chunna thi
kahan kheema lgana tha
meri matti raah-e-syargaah ki humqadam nikli
meri palkon pe taare jhilmilaate hain
adan may aag jalti hay
magar paun may khoon aasham raaste larkharate hain
ye kia sheeraza bandi hay
ye meri bepari kis kunj se ho kar beham nikli
nazar may din nikaalta hay
Paron may shaam dhalti hay
magar main to lahun ki mujamid sil hun
