dushmanī jam kar karo lekin ye gunjā.ish rahe
jab kabhī ham dost ho jaa.eñ to sharminda na hoñ
bear enmity with all your might, but this we should decide
if ever we be friends again, we are not mortified
dushmani jam kar karo lekin ye gunjaish rahe
jab kabhi hum dost ho jaen to sharminda na hon
bear enmity with all your might, but this we should decide
if ever we be friends again, we are not mortified

dekhoge to har moḌ pe mil jā.eñgī lāsheñ
DhūñDoge to is shahr meñ qātil na milegā
dekhoge to har moD pe mil jaengi lashen
DhunDoge to is shahr mein qatil na milega
dhuāñ jo kuchh gharoñ se uTh rahā hai
na puure shahar par chhā.e to kahnā
dhuan jo kuchh gharon se uTh raha hai
na pure shahar par chhae to kahna
kursī hai tumhārā ye janāza to nahīñ hai
kuchh kar nahīñ sakte to utar kyoñ nahīñ jaate
kursi hai tumhaara ye janaza to nahin hai
kuchh kar nahin sakte to utar kyon nahin jate
ishq meñ bhī siyāsateñ niklīñ
qurbatoñ meñ bhī fāsla niklā
ishq mein bhi siyasaten niklin
qurbaton mein bhi fasla nikla
samajhne hī nahīñ detī siyāsat ham ko sachchā.ī
kabhī chehra nahīñ miltā kabhī darpan nahīñ miltā
samajhne hi nahin deti siyasat hum ko sachchai
kabhi chehra nahin milta kabhi darpan nahin milta
mujh se kyā baat likhānī hai ki ab mere liye
kabhī sone kabhī chāñdī ke qalam aate haiñ
mujh se kya baat likhani hai ki ab mere liye
kabhi sone kabhi chandi ke qalam aate hain
in se ummīd na rakh haiñ ye siyāsat vaale
ye kisī se bhī mohabbat nahīñ karne vaale
in se ummid na rakh hain ye siyasat wale
ye kisi se bhi mohabbat nahin karne wale
ye sach hai rañg badaltā thā vo har ik lamha
magar vahī to bahut kāmyāb chehrā thā
ye sach hai rang badalta tha wo har ek lamha
magar wahi to bahut kaamyab chehra tha
vo tāza-dam haiñ na.e sho.abde dikhāte hue
avaam thakne lage tāliyāñ bajāte hue
wo taza-dam hain nae shoabde dikhate hue
awam thakne lage taliyan bajate hue
