hamein mahfil mein aankhon par bithaenge bhala wo kyun
ki rasm-e-dosti hum se nibhaenge bhala wo kyun

kiya makhsus hai ahbab ka halqa unhonne ab
yun haal-e-dil hamein phir se sunaenge bhala wo kyun

kabhi the wo hamare raazdan jaan bhi lutate the
hamare raaz sare ab chhupaenge bhala wo kyun

jo jite ji hamein zindan mein dafna kar yun jate hain
hamari maut par aansu bahaenge bhala wo kyun

hamein ruswa kiya tha shahr se us ne nikala tha
mohabbat se 'mahak' wapas bulaenge bhala wo kyun
