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
