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 [...]

kis tarah jite hain ye log bata do yaro
hum ko bhi jine ka andaz sikha do yaro

pyar lete hain kahan se ye zamane wale
un gali-kuchon ka rasta to dikha do yaro [...]

tumhaari anjuman se uth ke diwane kahan jate
jo wabasta hue tum se wo afsane kahan jate

departing from your company, where could your lovers go?
what would happen to those legends that around you grow? [...]
