taqadeer kahaan le aai hai
kahane ko to mahafil hai magar
lagata hai ki bas tanhaai hai) -2
manzil thi kaheen jaana tha kaheen
(in aankhon ne jo dekha hai
kya pyaar isi ko kahate hain) -2
gar pyaar yahi hai mahalon ka
to pyaar ki ye rusavaai hai
manzil thi kaheen ...
(jhoothi qasamein jhoothe vaade
hai raat nasheeli ka jaadoo) -2
utarega nasha to dekhoge
is jhooth mein kya gaharaai hai
manzil thi kaheen ...
(shikawa bhi karen to kisase karen
koi to samajhane vaala ho) -2
ham baat karen kya gairon ki
apanon se thokar khaai hai
manzil thi kaheen ...
