Sili Hawa Chhoo Gayi

Neeli nadi ke pare, pila sa chaand khil gaya
Sili hawa chhoo gayi, sila badan chhil gaya
Tumse mili jo zindagi, humne abhi boyi nahin - 2
Tere siva koi na tha, tere siva koi nahin
Sili hawa chhoo gayi, sila badan chhil gaya
Oh, aah
Jaane kahan kaise shaher leke chala yeh dil mujhe - 2
Tere bagair din na jala, tere bagair shab na bujhe
Sili hawa chhoo gayi, sila badan chhil gaya
Jitne bhi tai karte gaye, badhte gaye yeh faasle - 2
Milon se din chhod aaye, saalon se raat leke chale
Sili hawa chhoo gayi, sila badan chhil gaya
Neeli nadi ke pare, pila sa chaand khil gaya
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
