Tere intezaar mein baitha hoon, Zamana kehta hai, "bekaar hai yeh junoon," "Zaya ho rahi hai umr yeh teri," "Woh kabhi na aayegi, yeh baat hai purani," Magar main khush hoon apni manzil mein, Is be-saud mohabbat ki mehfil mein. Dil se jaan ke bhi, tu na samjhegi, Meri dastaan, kabhi na dekhegi, Phir bhi main hoon tere khayalon mein, Khush hoon tere farebon ki jhalakon mein. Mujhe maaloom hai, yeh ek khud farebi hai, Par dil se kisi ne yeh baat na jaani hai, Mohabbat hai ajeeb, barbaad kar ke bhi, Khush rehta hoon teri yaadon mein, Ke shayad ek din tu mud ke dekhegi, Par yeh bhi jaanta hoon, woh ghadi na aayegi, Phir bhi muskurata hoon, apni jhooti umeedon mein.
