It would have been an epic state of mind when Janab Firaq Gorakhpuri would have made this Ghazal, Sham Bhi Thi Dhuan Dhuan, a reality, an explanation of helplessness of a lover where he is neither able to meet nor able to recall her back, the sher (couplet) that has made this Ghazal so popular is
shaam bhī thī dhuāñ dhuāñ husn bhī thā udaas udaas
dil ko ka.ī kahāniyāñ yaad sī aa ke rah ga.iiñ
This sher (Couplet) alone made the whole ghazal famous. It has got all the desired feelings to give you goosebumps.
In this series of Ghazal Ki Kahani, first half would be of recitation and second half would have explanation or interpretation of the Ghazal. We will pick up each and every sher, and will go through the feelings of the Ghazal.
If you have any poetry you want me to recite, please mention in the comment box. If possible for me, I would surely put my emotions into it.

narm fazā kī karvaTeñ dil ko dukhā ke rah ga.iiñ
ThanDī havā.eñ bhī tirī yaad dilā ke rah ga.iiñ
shaam bhī thī dhuāñ dhuāñ husn bhī thā udaas udaas
dil ko ka.ī kahāniyāñ yaad sī aa ke rah ga.iiñ
mujh ko ḳharāb kar ga.iiñ nīm-nigāhiyāñ tirī
mujh se hayāt o maut bhī āñkheñ churā ke rah ga.iiñ
husn-e-nazar-fareb meñ kis ko kalām thā magar
terī adā.eñ aaj to dil meñ samā ke rah ga.iiñ
tab kahīñ kuchh pata chalā sidq-o-ḳhulūs-e-husn kā
jab vo nigāheñ ishq se bāteñ banā ke rah ga.iiñ
tere ḳhirām-e-nāz se aaj vahāñ chaman khile
fasleñ bahār kī jahāñ ḳhaak uḌā ke rah ga.iiñ
pūchh na un nigāhoñ kī turfa karishma-sāziyāñ
fitne sulā ke rah ga.iiñ fitne jagā ke rah ga.iiñ
tāroñ kī aañkh bhī bhar aa.ī merī sadā-e-dard par
un kī nigāheñ bhī tirā naam batā ke rah ga.iiñ
uf ye zamīñ kī gardisheñ aah ye ġham kī Thokareñ
ye bhī to baḳht-e-ḳhufta ke shāne hilā ke rah ga.iiñ
aur to ahl-e-dard kaun sambhāltā bhalā
haañ terī shādmāniyāñ un ko rulā ke rah ga.iiñ
yaad kuchh aa.iiñ is tarah bhūlī huī kahāniyāñ
kho.e hue diloñ meñ aaj dard uThā ke rah ga.iiñ
sāz-e-nashāt-e-zindagī aaj laraz laraz uThā
kis kī nigāheñ ishq kā dard sunā ke rah ga.iiñ
tum nahīñ aa.e aur raat rah ga.ī raah dekhtī
tāroñ kī mahfileñ bhī aaj āñkheñ bichhā ke rah ga.iiñ
jhuum ke phir chalīñ havā.eñ vajd meñ aa.iiñ phir fazā.eñ
phir tirī yaad kī ghaTā.eñ sīnoñ pe chhā ke rah ga.iiñ
qalb o nigāh kī ye iid uf ye ma.āl-e-qurb-o-dīd
charḳh kī gardisheñ tujhe mujh se chhupā ke rah ga.iiñ
phir haiñ vahī udāsiyāñ phir vahī suunī kā.enāt
ahl-e-tarab kī mahfileñ rañg jamā ke rah ga.iiñ
kaun sukūn de sakā ġham-zadagān-e-ishq ko
bhīgtī rāteñ bhī 'firāq' aag lagā ke rah ga.iiñ
