kushi ki chhaanv mein guzari wo raaten yaad aayengi
( mainne kya kiya sitam ye mainne kya kiya
ik saathi mila tha ulafat ka usako bhi kho diya ) -2
mainne kya kiya
khoi hui kisi ki wo soorat nazar mein hai
dil mein hai zakm daag-e-mohabbat jigar mein hai -2
ek chaahane waale ko mainne badala kya diya
mainne kya kiya sitam ye mainne kya kiya
ik saathi mila tha ulafat ka usako bhi kho diya
mainne kya kiya
chubhane lagi hai ab to
chubhane lagi hai ab to in aankhon mein neend bhi -2
haathon se apane loot li apani hi zindagi -2
rote hain unaki yaad mein qisamat se kya gila
mainne kya kiya sitam ye mainne kya kiya
ik saathi mila tha ulafat ka usako bhi kho diya
mainne kya kiya
dil ki ye aarazu hai phir aahen bhara karen
unako bitha ke saamane baaten kiya karen -2
rootha hai koi dard mere dil mein rah gaya
mainne kya kiya sitam ye mainne kya kiya
ik saathi mila tha ulafat ka usako bhi kho diya
mainne kya kiya
Jiyenge Jab Talajk Ham
