shaam bhi thi dhuan dhuan husn bhi tha udaas udaas dil ko kai kahaniyan yaad si aa ke rah gaiin
the couplet links outer scenery with inner feeling: a smoky dusk mirrors a dim, heavy mood. even “beauty” appears depressed, suggesting love itself has lost its shine. in that atmosphere, old memories and unfinished tales rise inside the heart and linger, not becoming clear words—only a persistent ache.
tumhare shahr ka mausam bada suhana lage main ek shaam chura luun agar bura na lage
yuun to har shaam umidon men guzar jaati hai aaj kuchh baat hai jo shaam pe rona aaya
every evening was, by hope, sustained this evening's desperation makes me weep
shaam tak subh ki nazron se utar jaate hain itne samjhauton pe jiite hain ki mar jaate hain
ab udaas phirte ho sardiyon ki shamon men is tarah to hota hai is tarah ke kamon men
vo kaun tha jo din ke ujale men kho gaya ye chand kis ko dhundne nikla hai shaam se
kabhi to asman se chand utre jaam ho jaae tumhare naam ki ik khub-surat shaam ho jaae
ab kaun muntazir hai hamare liye vahan shaam aa gai hai laut ke ghar jaaen ham to kya
yaad hai ab tak tujh se bichhadne ki vo andheri shaam mujhe tu khamosh khada tha lekin baten karta tha kajal
shaam hote hi khuli sadkon ki yaad aati hai sochta roz huun main ghar se nahin niklunga
ghar ki vahshat se larazta huun magar jaane kyuun shaam hoti hai to ghar jaane ko ji chahta hai
shaam se un ke tasavvur ka nasha tha itna niind aai hai to ankhon ne bura maana hai
shaam se pahle tiri shaam na hone dunga zindagi main tujhe nakam na hone dunga
kaun si baat nai ai dil-e-nakam hui shaam se subh hui subh se phir shaam hui
o luckless heart what was new today you tell me pray day first turned into night, then night turned into day
bhigi hui ik shaam ki dahliz pe baithe ham dil ke sulagne ka sabab soch rahe hain
shajar ne puchha ki tujh men ye kis ki khushbu hai hava-e-sham-e-alam ne kaha udasi ki
asr ke vaqt mere paas na baith mujh pe ik sanvli ka saaya hai
na udaas ho na malal kar kisi baat ka na khayal kar kai saal baa'd mile hain ham tere naam aaj ki shaam hai
nai subh par nazar hai magar aah ye bhi dar hai ye sahar bhi rafta rafta kahin shaam tak na pahunche
kabhi to shaam dhale apne ghar gae hote kisi ki aankh men rah kar sanvar gae hote
shaam bhi thi dhuan dhuan husn bhi tha udaas udaas dil ko kai kahaniyan yaad si aa ke rah gaiin
the couplet links outer scenery with inner feeling: a smoky dusk mirrors a dim, heavy mood. even “beauty” appears depressed, suggesting love itself has lost its shine. in that atmosphere, old memories and unfinished tales rise inside the heart and linger, not becoming clear words—only a persistent ache.

ab udaas phirte ho sardiyon ki shamon men is tarah to hota hai is tarah ke kamon men
vo kaun tha jo din ke ujale men kho gaya ye chand kis ko dhundne nikla hai shaam se
kabhi to asman se chand utre jaam ho jaae tumhare naam ki ik khub-surat shaam ho jaae
na udaas ho na malal kar kisi baat ka na khayal kar kai saal baa'd mile hain ham tere naam aaj ki shaam hai
main tamam din ka thaka hua tu tamam shab ka jaga hua zara thahar ja isi mod par tere saath shaam guzar luun
doston se mulaqat ki shaam hai ye saza kaat kar apne ghar jaunga
nai subh par nazar hai magar aah ye bhi dar hai ye sahar bhi rafta rafta kahin shaam tak na pahunche
shaam hote hi khuli sadkon ki yaad aati hai sochta roz huun main ghar se nahin niklunga
ghar ki vahshat se larazta huun magar jaane kyuun shaam hoti hai to ghar jaane ko ji chahta hai
kabhi to shaam dhale apne ghar gae hote kisi ki aankh men rah kar sanvar gae hote
baitha hua huun lag ke dariche se mahv-e-yas ye shaam aaj mere barabar udaas hai
shaam se pahle tiri shaam na hone dunga zindagi main tujhe nakam na hone dunga
dhalegi shaam jahan kuchh nazar na aaega phir is ke baa'd bahut yaad ghar ki aaegi
shamen kisi ko mangti hain aaj bhi 'firaq' go zindagi men yuun mujhe koi kami nahin
the couplet contrasts outward completeness with an inner, unnamed need. “evenings” become a metaphor for loneliness, when the heart most clearly feels absence and seeks companionship. the speaker claims life is fine, yet admits a persistent yearning for a particular “someone.” the emotional core is quiet emptiness that survives despite material or practical sufficiency.
shajar ne puchha ki tujh men ye kis ki khushbu hai hava-e-sham-e-alam ne kaha udasi ki
ham bahut duur nikal aae hain chalte chalte ab thahar jaaen kahin shaam ke dhalte dhalte
