Hum na honge to hamein yaad karoge yaro

hum na honge to hamein yaad karoge yaro
tazkire honge yahi jab bhi miloge yaro

hum ne rudad-e-wafa KHud se murattab ki hai
dastan phir ye kabhi sun na sakoge yaro

hum na honge to kise paoge dil ka mahram
hum na honge to ye dukh kis se kahoge yaro

mahfilen yunhi rahengi yunhi yaron ke hujum
lekin ek baat jise phir na sunoge yaro

hum se zinda hai rah-o-rasm-e-mohabbat ab tak
us ko jaan de ke kahan zinda rakhoge yaro

hum ne har bar hawadis ki kalai moDi
tum unhen kis tarah maghlub karoge yaro

zikr hoga lab-e-ayyam pe aksar apna
tum hamein mushaf-e-alam mein paDhoge yaro

waqt pujega hamein waqt hamein DhunDega
aur tum waqt ke ham-rah chaloge yaro

hamin tariKH-e-zamana ke murattab hain 'KHaliq'
hamein tariKH mein ek roz kahoge yaro
