jab kabhi honge to hum mail-e-gham hi honge

jab kabhī hoñge to ham mā.il-e-ġham hī hoñge

aise dīvāne bhī is daur meñ kam hī hoñge

ham to zaḳhmoñ pe bhī ye soch ke ḳhush hote haiñ

tohfa-e-dost haiñ jab ye to karam hī hoñge

bazm-e-ālam meñ jab aa.e haiñ to baiTheñ kuchh aur

bas yahī hogā nā kuchh aur sitam hī hoñge

jab bhī barbād-e-vafā koī nazar aa.e tumheñ

ġhaur se dekh liyā karnā vo ham hī hoñge

koī bhaTkā huā bādal koī uḌtī ḳhushbū

kaun kah saktā hai ik din ye baham hī hoñge

jab kabhi honge to hum mail-e-gham hi honge

aise diwane bhi is daur mein kam hi honge

hum to zaKHmon pe bhi ye soch ke KHush hote hain

tohfa-e-dost hain jab ye to karam hi honge

bazm-e-alam mein jab aae hain to baiThen kuchh aur

bas yahi hoga na kuchh aur sitam hi honge

jab bhi barbaad-e-wafa koi nazar aae tumhein

ghaur se dekh liya karna wo hum hi honge

koi bhaTka hua baadal koi uDti KHushbu

kaun kah sakta hai ek din ye baham hi honge
