ek bar mil ke phir na kabhi umr bhar mile

ik baar mil ke phir na kabhī umr bhar mile

do ajnabī the ham jo sar-e-rah-guzar mile

kuchh manziloñ ke ḳhvāb the kuchh rāstoñ ke dhuul

nikle safar pe ham to yahī ham-safar mile

yuuñ apnī sarsarī sī mulāqāt ḳhud se thī

jaise kisī se koī sar-e-rah-guzar mile

ik shaḳhs kho gayā hai jo raste kī bhiiḌ meñ

is kā pata chale to kuchh apnī ḳhabar mile

apne safar meñ yuuñ to akelā huuñ maiñ magar

saaya sā ek raah ke har moḌ par mile

barsoñ meñ ghar ham aa.e to begāna-vār aaj

ham se ḳhud apne ghar ke hī dīvār-o-dar mile

'maḳhmūr' ham bhī raqs kareñ mauj-e-gul ke saath

khul kar jo ham se mausam-e-dīvāna-gar mile

ek bar mil ke phir na kabhi umr bhar mile

do ajnabi the hum jo sar-e-rah-guzar mile

kuchh manzilon ke KHwab the kuchh raston ke dhul

nikle safar pe hum to yahi ham-safar mile

yun apni sarsari si mulaqat KHud se thi

jaise kisi se koi sar-e-rah-guzar mile

ek shaKHs kho gaya hai jo raste ki bhiD mein

is ka pata chale to kuchh apni KHabar mile

apne safar mein yun to akela hun main magar

saya sa ek rah ke har moD par mile

barson mein ghar hum aae to begana-war aaj

hum se KHud apne ghar ke hi diwar-o-dar mile

'maKHmur' hum bhi raqs karen mauj-e-gul ke sath

khul kar jo hum se mausam-e-diwana-gar mile
