Ashk-e-ravaan ki nehr hai aur hum hain dosto..

Ashk-e-ravaan ki nehr hai aur hum hain dosto,
Uss bewafa ka shehr hai aur hum hain dosto,

Yeh ajnabi si manzilein aur raftgaan ki yaad,
Tanhaayiyon kaa zehr hai aur hum hain dost,

Laayi hai ab urraa ke gaye mausmon ki baas,
Barkhaa ki rut ka qehr hai aur hum hain dosto,

Phirte hain misl-e-mauj-e-huaaa shehr mein,
Awaargi ki lehr hai aur hum hain dosto,

Shaam-e-aalam dhalli to chalii dard ki havaa,
Raaton ki pichlaa pehr hai aur hum hain dosto,

Aankhon mei urr rahi hai lutti mehfilon ki dhool,
Ibrat saraa-e-dehr hai aur hum hain dosto..
