ye jaan na main to paayi re
bujh gaye dip aashaaon ke
ye kaisi aandhi aayi re - 2
kab bit gayi
duniya ne mera duniya mein
sukh chain hai mujhase chhin liya - 2
qisamat ne khushi ki kaliyon ko
hai man upavan se bin liya - 2
ab kisako pukaaruun sunata nahin
dukhiya ki koi duhaayi re - 2
kab bit gayi
jab laakhon the sunanevaale
tab kahane ko thi baat nahin - 2
ab laakhon baatein kahani hai
aur sunanevaala saath nahin - 2
main puuchhuun kise jaakar ke prabhu - 2
ye kisane aag lagaayi re - 2
kab bit gayi
