Haq vafaa kaa jo ham jataane lage
aap kuchh kahke muskuraane lage
ham ko jiinaa padegaa furqat me
vo agar himmat aazamaane lage
Dar hai merii zubaan na khul jaaye
ab vo baate’n bahut banaane lage
jaan bachatii nazar nahii'n aatii
Ghair ulfat bahut jataane lage
tum ko karanaa padegaa uzr-e-jafaa
ham agar dard-e-dil sunaane lage
bahut mushkil hai shevaa-e-tasliim
ham bhii aakhir ko jii churaane lage
vaqt-e-rukhsat thaa sakht "Hali" par
ham bhii baiThe the jab vo jaane lage
