mohbbat me jo mit jata hai wo kuch kah nahi sakta
ye wo kucha hai jisme dil salaamat rah nahi sakta
kiski duniya yahaan tabaah nahi

kaun hai jiske lab pe aah nahi
kaun hai jiske lab pe aah nahi
kiski duniya yahaan tabaah nahi
kaun hai jiske lab pe aah nahi
husn par dil zarur aayegaa
isse bachne ki koi raah nahi
isse bachne ki koi raah nahi
zindagi aaj nazar milte hi lut jaayegi
suna hai teri mahfil me rat jaga hai
saaqiya aaj mujhe nind nahi aayegi
aankho-aankho me yun hi raat guzar jaayegi
sunaa hai teri mahfil me rat jaga hai
sunaa hai teri mahfil me rat jaga hai
