dost hota nahin har hath milane wala

ye fitna aadmī ḳhāna-vīrānī ko kyā kam hai

hue tum dost jis ke dushman us āsmāñ kyuuñ ho

Is this trouble not enough, to ruin one what else should be

If you are someone's friend then why needs heaven be his enemy

hue tum dost jis ke dushman us ka aasman kyun ho

Is this trouble not enough, to ruin one what else should be

If you are someone's friend then why needs heaven be his enemy

hameñ bhī aa paḌā hai dostoñ se kaam kuchh ya.anī

hamāre dostoñ ke bevafā hone vaqt aayā

I need a favour from my friends so now

the time has come for them to disavow

hamein bhi aa paDa hai doston se kaam kuchh yani

hamare doston ke bewafa hone ka waqt aaya

I need a favour from my friends so now

the time has come for them to disavow
