Dost Ban Kar Bhi Nahi Saath Nibhanay Wala

Dost Ban Kar Bhi Nahi Saath Nibhanay Wala
Wahi Andaaz Hai Zaalim Kaa Zamaanay Wala

Ab Isay Log Samajhate Hain Giraftaar Meraa
Sakht Nadim Hai Mujhe Daam Main Laanay Wala

Kyaa Kahain Kitane Maraasim The Hamaare Us Se
Wo Jo Ek Shakhs Hai Munh Pher Ke Jaanay Wala

Tere Hote Hue Aa Jaati Thi Saary Duniyaa
Aaj Tanhaa Houn To Koi Nahi Aanay Wala

Muntazir Kis Kaa Houn Tooti Hoe Dahaleez Pe Main
Kaun Aaye Gaa Yahan Kaun Hai Aanay Wala

Main Ne Dekhaa Hai Bahaaroun Main Chaman Ko Jalte
Hai Koi Khwaab Kii Taabeer Bataanay Wala

Kyaa Khabar Thi Jo Meree Jaan Main Ghulaa Hai Itnaa
Hai Wahi Mujh Ko Sar-E-Daar Bhi Laanay Wala

Tum Taqalluf Ko Bhi Ikhalaas Samajhate Ho 'Faraz'
Dost Hotaa Nahain Har Haath Milaanay Wala......
