āḳhirī baar mulāqāt to kar lī hai magar

silsila apnī mohabbat kā kahāñ āḳhirī hai

aaKHiri bar mulaqat to kar li hai magar

silsila apni mohabbat ka kahan aaKHiri hai

maiñ roz daana nahīñ Dāltā parindoñ ko

ki bhuul jā.ūñ to vo chhat pe baiThe rahte haiñ

main roz dana nahin Dalta parindon ko

ki bhul jaun to wo chhat pe baiThe rahte hain

puurī ho jaatī agar koī kahānī hotī

ye mohabbat hai miyāñ is meñ kasak rahtī hai

puri ho jati agar koi kahani hoti

ye mohabbat hai miyan is mein kasak rahti hai

kabhī kabhī to mirā ghar bhī mujh se pūchhtā hai

ki is jahāñ meñ koī terā ghar bhī hai ki nahīñ

kabhi kabhi to mera ghar bhi mujh se puchhta hai

ki is jahan mein koi tera ghar bhi hai ki nahin

she'r kah kar kabhī dekho to khulegā tum par

itnā āsāñ nahīñ jitnā ye hunar lagtā hai

she'r kah kar kabhi dekho to khulega tum par

itna aasan nahin jitna ye hunar lagta hai
