Sham udas hai, raat udas hogi

Gurbat me jeenewala kis kadar tang hota hai,
Jaise koi nagina rangon ke liye tang hota hai,
Baharein muflison ki zindagi me jald aati nahi,
Agar aajaein, to cheen lene wala zamana khada hota hai.

Muflison ke naseeb me andhera hota hai,
Unki zindagi me na swera hota hai,
Har ilzaam lag jata hai kisi miskin pe,
Ke unki zindagi pe gurbat ka pehra hota hai.

Khwaab tute hue, dil dukhaate rahe,
Der tak woh hume yaad aate rahe,
Kaat lee aansuon mein judaai ki raat,
Sher kehte rahe, gane gungunaate rahe…
Tere jalwe paraaye hue magar gum nahi,
Ye tassalli bhi apne liye kam nahi,
Humne tumse kiya tha jo wafa ka vaada,
Saans jab taq chali, hum nibhaate rahe…

Kisko mujrim kahein ab karein kya gilaa,
Rishta tuta, na unki na meri thi razaa,
Apni kismat mein kabhi woh thi hi nahi,
Khwaab palkon pe jiske sajaate rahe...

Kuchh to duniya ki inayaat ne dil tod diya
Kuch teri mohabbat ne dil tod diya
Hum to samjhe the ke barsat me barsegi sharaab
Aayi barsaat to barsaat ne dil tod diya
Dil to rota rahe aur aankh se aansu na bahe
Ishq ki aisi haqeekat ne dil tod diya
Wo mere hain mujhe mil hi jayenge
Aise bekaar khyalat ne dil tod diya
Aapko pyaar hai mujhse ki nahi he
Jaane kyu aise savaalat ne dil tod diya

Sham udas hai, raat udas hogi,
Subah kafan me lipti laash meri hogi,
Aye mujhe dafnane valon jao meri jaan se kah do
Kabr me bhi uski yaaden mere paas hongi.

Tute hue riston ke nishan baki hain,
Iss tute dil me abhi jaan baki hai,
To kya hua dekh kar nazar fer lete hain,
Shukar hai ki chahre ki pehchan baki hai.

Jaan kar bhi woh mujhe jaan na paaye,
Aaj tak woh mujhe pehchaan na paaye,
Khud hi kar li bewafai humne,
Taaki unpar koi ilzaam na aaye.
