MenooN taaN mere dosta mere Gham ne marya ay
He joth teri dosti de dum ne marya ay
Menoon te jeth haar te koi naheeN gila
Mere chaman nooN cheet di shabnum ne marya ay
Masya di kali raat da koi naheen qasoor
Sagar nooN ohdi apni poonam ny marya ay
Eh kon he jo mot nooN badnaam kar raheya ay
Insan nooN ansan de janam ne marya ay
Charhya si jehra suraja dubna si os Zaroor
Koi joth keh raheya he ke pacham ne parya ay
Manya ke moyaaN mitraaN da, Gham wi marda ay
Bohta par os dikhawe de matam ne marya ay
Qatil koi dushman naheeN main theek aakhdaaN
Shiw noon taaN shiw de apne mehram ne marya ay

By grieving for dead friends,

By those who loved him.
