Aaj ki shaam --- meray dil mein chiraaghaan hai bohat
Shorish-e-derd pass-e-chaak-e-giraybaan hai bohat

Yaad-e-yaaraan say munawwarr hein dar-o-baam-e-hayat
Fiker-e-aaraaish-e-dil-daar darakhshaan hai bohat

Runjish-e-dil-zadgaan had say berhi jaati hai
Bakhshish-e-gerdish-e-douraan bhi farozaan hai bohat

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Aaj ki shaam samaytay huway gum-gashta naqoosh
Zeenah zeenah meray seenay mein uter aai hai

Mosam-e-habs hai aisa k mayassar ab to
Shorish-e-halqa-e-ehbaab na tunhaai hai

Khud mein simtoon to bikhernay ki khalish dasti hai
Khud say baahir bhi na shohrat hai na ruswaai hai

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Kerwatein derd badalta hai pass-e-lamha-e-shoq
Aahatein daaman-e-aaghaaz mein anjaam ki hein

Meray chehray pay dehektay hein rukh-e-deher k rung
Meray maathay pay kharaashein ghum-e-aiyaam ki hein

Meray honton pay duaaon ki lakeerein roshan
Meray seenay mein sab hi saa’atein ilhaam ki hein

Meri dukhti hui aankhon mein mager aaj ki shaam
Jitni shammein bhi farozaan hein, teray naam ki hein !
