tum koi is se tawaqqo na lagana mare dost
ye zamana hai zamana hai zamana mere dost

samne to ho tasawwur mein kahani koi
ek haqiqat se bada ek fasana mere dost [...]

ye kaj-adai ye ghamza tera kabhi phir yar!
ki tera shahr naya aur main musafir yar!

tu aur kuchh na sahi, dost to hai aakhir yar!
dukhi raha hai bahut aaj tera shair yar! [...]

aaj dekha jo koi shakhs diwana mere dost
yaad phir aaya mujhe mera fasana mere dost

main tere hijr mein chup-chap chale jata hun
dil ko aata hai kahan koi bahana mere dost [...]

aankhon ko sujhta hi nahin kuchh siwa-e-dost
kanon mein aa rahi hai barabar sada-e-dost

kaisi wafa sitam se bhi us ne uthae hath
rah rah ke yaad ab aati hai tarz-e-jafa-e-dost [...]

mujhe dost kahne wale zara dosti nibha de
ye mutalba hai haq ka koi iltija nahin hai

mere ham-nafas mere ham-nawa mujhe dost ban ke dagha na de
main hun dard-e-ishq se jaan-ba-lab mujhe zindagi ki dua na de

my companion, my intimate, be not a friend and yet betray
the pain of love is fatal now, for my life please do not pray [...]
