Kahe Ko Der Lagayi

aankhen tarasi rah gaeen is intazaar mein
kaahe ko der lagaai re aaye na ab tak baalama
hamane to jaan ganvaai re aaye na ab tak baalama
kaahe ko der ...
meri dua naakaam hui hai sooraj dooba shaam hui hai
pahane qafan jaayegi muhabbat dil ki lagi badanaam hui hai
hansati hai saari kudaai re aaye na ab tak baalama
kaahe ko der ...
duniya yoon hi roegi aayengi kushiyaan gam bhi sahegi
lekin meri barabaad javaani mit ke bhi unase yahi kahegi
hamase to ki bevafaai re aaye na ab tak baalama
kaahe ko der ...
rang ye laai chaahat kisi ki yaad rahegi ulfat kisi ki
meri qasam tujhe e maut thahar ja dekh to loon soorat kisi ki
dil se sada ye hi aai re aaye na ab tak baalama
hamane to preet nibhaai re aaye na ab tak baalama
