Raat Kyon Kar Kati

raat kyon kar kati ye tujhe kyaa khabar,
ae darde-e-jigar, mere dard-e-jigar-2
mein to jaagi hi thee, duniya soti rahi,
soti rahi,
ek shabanam ki thee saath, roti rahi,
roti rahi,
dekh phoolon ki hai pattiyaan tar-b-tar
ae dard-e-jigar.............
jazba-e-dil hai to khud hi chale aayenge
chale aayenge
ye museebat ke din bhi guzar jaayenge
guzar jaayenge
ham to baithe rahenge, yun hi umrr bhar
ae dard-e-jigar...........
