kuduuraton ke darmiyaan, adaawaton ke darmiyaan
tamaam dost ajnabi hain, doston ke darmiyaan
zamaana meri daastaan pe ro raha hai aaj kyuun
yehi to kal suni gayi thi, qehqaho.n ke darmiyaan
shauur-e-asr dhoondhta raha hai mujhko, aur main!
magan hoon ahd-e-raftagaan ki, azmaton ke darmiyaan
hazaaron burdbaariyon ke saath jee rahe hain ham
muhaal tha ye kaar-e-zeest, wehshaton ke darmiyaan
ye sochte hain kab talak zameer ko bachaayeinge
agar yuunhi jiya kiye zarooraton ke darmiyaan
tamaam dost ajnabi hain, doston ke darmiyaan
zamaana meri daastaan pe ro raha hai aaj kyuun
yehi to kal suni gayi thi, qehqaho.n ke darmiyaan
shauur-e-asr dhoondhta raha hai mujhko, aur main!
magan hoon ahd-e-raftagaan ki, azmaton ke darmiyaan
hazaaron burdbaariyon ke saath jee rahe hain ham
muhaal tha ye kaar-e-zeest, wehshaton ke darmiyaan
ye sochte hain kab talak zameer ko bachaayeinge
agar yuunhi jiya kiye zarooraton ke darmiyaan
