Abhi Meri Apni Samajh Mein Bhi Nahi Aa Rahi
Mein Jabhi Tu Baat Ko Mukhtasir Nahi Kar Raha
Main ne samandar se sekha hai jene ka saleeqa
Chup chap se behna, apni mouj main rehna
Kabhi jo zindagi ka goshwara dekhta hun main
Tu har mad main khasara hi khasara dekhta hun main
Jab Shehr Ke Lo Na Rasta Den Kyun Ban Mein Na Ja Basram Kare
Dewaano Ki Si Na Baat Kare Tu Aur Kare Dewana Kya
Ab apni yaadon se humein rihayi de
Humein har jagah na dikhayi de
Aaj ik aur baras beet gya us ke beghair
Jis ke hoty hoye hoty thy zamane meray
Bety hain apny baap ki jageer ke raqeeb
Wo ghar bhi koi ghar hai jis main betian na hon
Wafa Tujh Se Aey Bewafa Chahta Hun
Mere Sadgi Dekh Kya Chahta Hun
