kab tum bhaTke kyuuñ tum bhaTke kis kis ko samjhāoge

itnī duur to aa pahuñche ho aur kahāñ tak jāoge

is chālīs baras meñ tum ne kitne dost banā.e haiñ

ab jo umr bachī hai us meñ kitne dost banāoge

bachpan ke sab sañgī sāthī āḳhir kyuuñ tumheñ chhoḌ ga.e

koī yaar nayā pūchhe to is ko kyā batlāoge

jo bhī tum ne shohrat paa.ī jo bhī tum badnām hue

kyā yahī tarka apne pyāre bachchoñ ko de jāoge

ab is josh-e-ḳhud-āgāhī meñ aage kī kyā sochī hai

sher kahoge ishq karoge kyā kyā Dhoñg rachāoge

'ā.alī' kis ko fursat hogī ek tumhī ko rone kī

jaise sab yaad aa jaate haiñ tum bhī yaad aa jāoge
