kahan se aa gaya kahan ye sham bhi kahan hui
kahāñ se aa gayā kahāñ ye shaam bhī kahāñ huī
na ham-nafas na ham-zabāñ ye shaam bhī kahāñ huī
bujhī nazar bujhe qadam na rāhbar na ham-safar
na rahguzar na kārvāñ ye shaam bhī kahāñ huī
na sham-e-dil na sham.a-e-ruḳh nujūm-e-shab na māh-e-shab
nigāh-o-dil dhuāñ dhuāñ ye shaam bhī kahāñ huī
na gesuoñ kī chhāñv hai na ārizoñ kī chāñdnī
na maañg kī vo kahkashāñ ye shaam bhī kahāñ huī
hayāt-e-ġham ke bojh se dabī dabī thakī thakī
luTī luTī sī bazm-e-jāñ ye shaam bhī kahāñ huī
lagī hai jaise aag sī chitā meñ jal rahā huuñ maiñ
pighal rahe haiñ jism-o-jāñ ye shaam bhī kahāñ huī
'payām' us maqām par hai aaj dil kā kārvāñ
jahāñ zamīñ na āsmāñ ye shaam bhī kahāñ huī
kahan se aa gaya kahan ye sham bhi kahan hui
na ham-nafas na ham-zaban ye sham bhi kahan hui
bujhi nazar bujhe qadam na rahbar na ham-safar
na rahguzar na karwan ye sham bhi kahan hui
na sham-e-dil na shama-e-ruKH nujum-e-shab na mah-e-shab
nigah-o-dil dhuan dhuan ye sham bhi kahan hui
na gesuon ki chhanw hai na aarizon ki chandni
na mang ki wo kahkashan ye sham bhi kahan hui
hayat-e-gham ke bojh se dabi dabi thaki thaki
luTi luTi si bazm-e-jaan ye sham bhi kahan hui
lagi hai jaise aag si chita mein jal raha hun main
pighal rahe hain jism-o-jaan ye sham bhi kahan hui
'payam' us maqam par hai aaj dil ka karwan
jahan zamin na aasman ye sham bhi kahan hui
