dosti khwab hai aur khwab ki tabir bhi hai
rishta-e-ishq bhi hai yaad ki zanjir bhi hai

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 [...]

sau bar tar tar kiya to bhi ab talak
sabit wahi hai dast o gareban ki dosti

khuda ke waste mauqa na de shikayat ka
ki dosti ki tarah dushmani nibhaya kar

tod kar aaj ghalat-fahmi ki diwaron ko
dosto apne talluq ko sanwara jae
