jab sar-e-shām koī yaad machal jaatī hai
dil ke vīrāne meñ ik sham.a sī jal jaatī hai
jab bhī aatā hai kabhī tark-e-tamannā kā ḳhayāl
le ke ik mauj kahīñ duur nikal jaatī hai
ye hai mai-ḳhāna yahāñ vaqt kā ehsās na kar
gardish-e-vaqt yahāñ jaam meñ Dhal jaatī hai
ḳhvāhish-e-zīst ġham-e-marg ġham-e-sūd-o-ziyāñ
zindagī chand khilaunoñ se bahal jaatī hai
jab vo hañste hue aate haiñ ḳhayāloñ meñ 'kalīm'
shām-e-ġham sub.h-e-masarrat meñ badal jaatī hai
