aise hi din the kuchh aisi sham thi

aise hī din the kuchh aisī shaam thī

vo magar kuchh aur hañstī shaam thī

bah rahā thā surḳh sūraj kā jahāz

māñjhiyoñ ke giit gaatī shaam thī

sub.h se thiiñ ThanDī ThanDī bārisheñ

phir bhī vo kaisī sulagtī shaam thī

garm alaav meñ sulagtī sardiyāñ

dhīme dhīme hiir gaatī shaam thī

gher lete the tilā.ī dā.ere

pāniyoñ meñ bahtī bahtī shaam thī

arsh par hilte hue do haath the

sāhiloñ kī bhīgī bhīgī shaam thī

kitnī rātoñ ko hameñ yaad aa.egī

apnī iklautī suhānī shaam thī

shāḳh se har surḳh pattī gir ga.ī

phir vahī bojhal sī piilī shaam thī

chāñdī chāñdī raat ko yaad aa.egī

sonā sonā sī rañgīlī shaam thī

solahveñ ziine pe sūraj thā 'obaid'

january kī ik salonī shaam thī

aise hi din the kuchh aisi sham thi

wo magar kuchh aur hansti sham thi

bah raha tha surKH suraj ka jahaz

manjhiyon ke git gati sham thi

subh se thin ThanDi ThanDi barishen

phir bhi wo kaisi sulagti sham thi

garm alaw mein sulagti sardiyan

dhime dhime hir gati sham thi

gher lete the tilai daere

paniyon mein bahti bahti sham thi

arsh par hilte hue do hath the

sahilon ki bhigi bhigi sham thi

kitni raaton ko hamein yaad aaegi

apni iklauti suhani sham thi

shaKH se har surKH patti gir gai

phir wahi bojhal si pili sham thi

chandi chandi raat ko yaad aaegi

sona sona si rangili sham thi

solahwen zine pe suraj tha 'obaid'

january ki ek saloni sham thi
