na to jale baati na ho koi saathi - 2
phir bhi na dar agar bujhen diye
sahar to hai tere liye) - 2
(jab bhi mujhe kabhi koi jo gam ghere
lagata hai honge nahi sapane yah poore mere) - 2
kahata hai dil mujhako maana hain gam tujhako
phir bhi na dar agar bujhen diye
sahar to hai tere liye
(jab na chaman khile mera bahaaron mein
jab doobane main lagoon raaton ki majadhaaron men) - 2
maayoos man dole par yah gagan bole
phir bhi na dar agar bujhen diye
sahar to hai tere liye
(jab zindagi kisi tarah bahalati nahi
khaamoshiyon se bhari jab raat dhalati naheen) - 2
tab muskuraauun main yah geet gaaoon main
phir bhi na dar agar bujhen diye
sahar to hai tere liye
raaton ke saaye ghane jab bojh dil par bane
na to jalen baati na ho koi saathi - 2
phir bhi na dar agar bujhen diye
sahar to hai tere liye
