Chalo ek baar phir say ajnabi bun ja'ain hum dono,

Chalo ek baar phir say ajnabi bun ja'ain hum dono,
Na main tum say koi umeed rakhoon dil nawazi kee,
Na tum meri taraf daikho ghalat andaaz nazron say,
Na meray dil kee dharkan larkara'ay meri baathon say,
Na zaahir ho tumhaari kushma-kush ka raaz nazron say.
Tumhain jo koi anjuman roktee hai paish qadmi say,
Mujhey bhi log kehtay hain kay yeh jalway para'ay hain.
Meray humrah bhi ruswa'eeyan hain meray maazi kee,
Tumharay saath bhi guzree hu'ee raaton kay sa'ay hain.
Ta'aruff rog ho ja'ay tau usska bhoolna behtar,
Ta'alluq bojhe bun ja'ay tau usska torna acha.
Woh afsaana jissay anjaam tak lana na ho mumkin,
Ussay ek khoobsoorat mor day kar chorna acha.
Chalo ek baar phir say ajnabi bun ja'ain hum dono . . .
