dost ban ban ke mile mujhko mitane wale
maine dekhe hai kai rang badalne wale
dost ban ban ke mile mujhko mitane wale

tumne chup rahke sitam aur bhi dhaya mujhpar
tumse acche hain mere haal pe hansne wale
tumse acche hain mere haal pe hansne wale

main to ikhlaaq ke hatho hi bika karta hu
main to ikhlaaq ke hatho hi bika karta hu
aur hoge tere baazar me bikne wale

akhiri baar salaam e dil e mustar le lo
phir na lautege shab e hizr pe rone wale
dost ban ban ke mile mujhko mitane wale

Friends disguised, seeking my ruin's embrace,
I've witnessed a kaleidoscope of fading grace.
Friends disguised, seeking my ruin's embrace.

Your silence, a cruelty, a torment untold,
Better the scorners, the laughter bold.
Better the scorners, the laughter bold.

My soul surrenders to kindness' sweet art,
My soul surrenders to kindness' sweet art,
Perhaps in your market, others impart.

This final farewell, my heart's mournful plea,
Weeping through nights of separation, eternally,
Friends disguised, seeking my ruin's embrace.
