aae the un ke sath nazare chale gae
wo shab wo chandni wo sitare chale gae

shayad tumhaare sath bhi wapas na aa saken
wo walwale jo sath tumhaare chale gae

kashti tadap ke halqa-e-tufan mein rah gai
dekho to kitni dur kinare chale gae

har aastan agarche tera aastan na tha
har aastan pe tujh ko pukare chale gae

sham-e-visal khana-e-ghurbat se ruth kar
tum kya gae nasib hamare chale gae

dekha to phir wahin the chale the jahan se hum
kashti ke sath sath kinare chale gae

mahfil mein kis ko tab-e-huzur-e-jamal thi
aae teri nigah ke mare chale gae

jate hujum-e-hashr mein hum aasiyan-e-dahr
ai lutf-e-yar tere sahaare chale gae

dushman gae to kashmakash-e-dosti gai
dushman gae ki dost hamare chale gae

jate hi un ke 'saif' shab-e-gham ne aa liya
rukhsat hua wo chand sitare chale gae
