dekhate-dekhate jal gayaa aashiyaan

kyaa sunaayuun tujhe pyaar ki daastaan



tujhase kaise kahuun dard kaa maajara

maine sochaa thaa kyaa aur kyaa ho gaya

paas aaye magar ho gayin duuriyaan

kyaa sunaayuun tujhe



sabake hote huye bhi akeli huun main

aap apane liye ik paheli huun main

haay majabuuriyaan haay laachaariyaan

kyaa sunaayuun tujhe



phunk rahaa hai jigar ji rahi huun magar

haay main lut gayi tuu rahaa bekabar

mujhape rote rahe ye zamin aasamaan

dekhate-dekhate jal gaya



rah gayi raakh si uth rahaa hai dhuaan

kyaa sunaayuun tujhe

Dekhate-Dekhate Jal Gaya Aashiyaan
