Lyrics:
اس سے پہلے کہ بے وفا ہو جائیں
کیوں نہ اے دوست ہم جدا ہو جائیں
تو بھی ہیرے سے بن گیا پتھر
ہم بھی کل جانے کیا سے کیا ہو جائیں
ہم بھی مجبوریوں کا عذر کریں
پھر کہیں اور مبتلا ہو جائیں
عشق بھی کھیل ہے نصیبوں کا
خاک ہو جائیں کیمیا ہو جائیں
اب کے گر تو ملے تو ہم تجھ سے
ایسے لپٹیں تری قبا ہو جائیں
بندگی ہم نے چھوڑ دی ہے فرازؔ
کیا کریں لوگ جب خدا ہو جائیں
