Yeh roz-marra ke vayakat-e-gum hai

Yeh roz-marra ke jo vakayat-e-gum hai

Yahi zindagani suhani banate hai...

Zara si honton par tabassum aaye to aansoo aa hi jate hai.

Yeh kaisi saaza mili hai aashiqon ko... unki khidki ka band ho jana

Koi jakar samjhaye unke ghar ke bujurgo ko

Phool jawan ho to bhaware aa hi jaate hai.

Aur

Unka mujhse baat na karna

Yeh koi nai baat nahi hai...

Husn jab shabab par ho to nakhare aa hi jaate hai.

Sote hue mera muskurate rehna

Yeh unka kasoor nahi hai...

Din jawani ke ho to aise khawab aa hi jaate hai.
