aise chup chup bhī kyā jiyā jaa.e
ab kahīñ ishq hī kiyā jaa.e

dil ke shīshe pe hai ġhubār bahut
aaj kuchh der ro liyā jaa.e

ajnabī shahr be-namak chehre
kise ham-rāz-e-dil kiyā jaa.e

habs kī pyaas hai bujhegī kahāñ
āb-e-haivāñ hī go piyā jaa.e

dil hai vīrān shahr bhī ḳhāmosh
phone hī us ko kar liyā jaa.e

ek dīvār-e-jism baaqī hai
ab use bhī girā diyā jaa.e

ho gayā taar taar har manzar
'shām' chāk-e-nazar siyā jaa.e

aise chup chup bhi kya jiya jae
ab kahin ishq hi kiya jae

dil ke shishe pe hai ghubar bahut
aaj kuchh der ro liya jae

ajnabi shahr be-namak chehre
kise ham-raaz-e-dil kiya jae

habs ki pyas hai bujhegi kahan
aab-e-haiwan hi go piya jae

dil hai viran shahr bhi KHamosh
phone hi us ko kar liya jae

ek diwar-e-jism baqi hai
ab use bhi gira diya jae

ho gaya tar tar har manzar
'sham' chaak-e-nazar siya jae
