Dard toh dost purana hai, 
Har pal saath mera, woh yaad hai, 
Jaise purani yaadein, wo dard bhi, 
Dil ke kone mein chhupi, bas hai, woh yaar hai.

Kuch pal ki khushi, kuch lamhe ke gam, 
Dil ke raaste pe, ye hai mere humsafar, 
Jise bhoolna chahein, magar na ho paaye, 
Dard toh dost purana hai, wo kabhi na jaaye.

Raat ke andhere mein, yaad uski aati hai, 
Kuch dil ke jazbaat, woh purani baatein laati hai, 
Jab bhi gham se guzaroon, woh dard saath aata hai, 
Dard toh dost purana hai, woh kabhi nahi jaata hai.

Phir bhi is dard ko, humne apna maan liya, 
Kyunki har gham ne, ek naya raasta dikhaya, 
Zindagi ke safar mein, ek raaz hai yeh pyaara, 
Dard toh dost purana hai, jo kabhi na chhoda hara.
