Ji Chaahata Hai Ab To, Duniya Se Ruuth Jaayein

honthon pe a rahin hain, ab maut ki duaayein - 2
o bevafa zamaane, chalate na tir gam ke
dil na agar lagaate, dhokhe mein a na jaate - 2
ye din na dekhate ham, aansu na yuun bahaate
do din to muskuraate - 2
ghir ghir ke yuun na aati, ashqon bhari ghataayein
honthon pe a rahin hain, ab maut ki duaayein
ji chaahata hai
Ji Chaahata Hai Ab To, Duniya Se Ruuth Jaayein
