maiñ tamām din kā thakā huā tū tamām shab kā jagā huā
zarā Thahar jā isī moḌ par tere saath shaam guzār luuñ
main tamam din ka thaka hua tu tamam shab ka jaga hua
zara Thahar ja isi moD par tere sath sham guzar lun
bas ek shaam kā har shaam intizār rahā
magar vo shaam kisī shaam bhī nahīñ aa.ī
bas ek sham ka har sham intizar raha
magar wo sham kisi sham bhi nahin aai
na.ī sub.h par nazar hai magar aah ye bhī Dar hai
ye sahar bhī rafta rafta kahīñ shaam tak na pahuñche
nai subh par nazar hai magar aah ye bhi Dar hai
ye sahar bhi rafta rafta kahin sham tak na pahunche
