Shaam hote hee kyon, Diye jal jaate hain

Kyon aankhein nam hoti hai, kyon ashk dhal jaate hain

Taarikiyo’n ko cheerkar, ye lau jagmagaati hai

Sehar hote hee kyon, Shamma dhal jaati hai

Aksar tanha raato mein, Kyon bebasi jhalakti hai

Kyon din khushi manata hai, Kyon raat udaas hoti ha

iShaam hote hi kyon, Diye jal jaate hain

Kyon aankhein nam hoti hai, kyon ashk dhal jaate hain

Inn waadiyo’n mein khudko, mai Kyon udaas paata hoon

Ye Surile parinde bhi, Kyon udaas geet gaate hain

Sehraa mein hoon mai tanha, Iss neele falak ke neeche

Ye aasmaa’n bhi mujhpar, kyon bijliyaa’n giraate hain

Shaam hote hi kyon, Diye jal jaate hain

Kyon aankhein nam hoti hai, kyon ashk dhal jaate hain
