is tarah zindagī ne diyā hai hamārā saath

jaise koī nibāh rahā ho raqīb se

is tarah zindagi ne diya hai hamara sath

jaise koi nibah raha ho raqib se

jis tarah log ḳhasāre meñ bahut sochte haiñ

aaj kal ham tire baare meñ bahut sochte haiñ

jis tarah log KHasare mein bahut sochte hain

aaj kal hum tere bare mein bahut sochte hain

ishq ne 'ġhālib' nikammā kar diyā

varna ham bhī aadmī the kaam ke

ishq ne 'ghaalib' nikamma kar diya

warna hum bhi aadmi the kaam ke

jaane kyuuñ log mirā naam paḌhā karte haiñ

maiñ ne chehre pe tire yuuñ to likhā kuchh bhī nahīñ

jaane kyun log mera nam paDha karte hain

main ne chehre pe tere yun to likha kuchh bhi nahin

kab lauTā hai bahtā paanī bichhḌā sājan rūThā dost

ham ne us ko apnā jaanā jab tak haath meñ dāmāñ thā

kab lauTa hai bahta pani bichhDa sajan ruTha dost

hum ne us ko apna jaana jab tak hath mein daman tha
