ik thokar aur lagaataa jaa
sinduur to maang se chhin liyaa
ab phuulon ko thukaraataa jaa
o jaanewaale
jaanewaale tuune aramaanon ki duniyaa luut li
muskuraane bhi na paai thi, tamannaa luut li
haaye duniyaa luut li
o jaanewaale
chhin kar khushiyaan meri rone ko aansuu de diye - 2
raat din maangi mere dil ne duaa jisake liye - 2
kyaa qayaamat hai
kyaa qayaamat hai usi ne dil ki duniyaa luut li
muskuraane bhi na paai thi, tamannaa luut li
haaye duniyaa luut li
o jaanewaale
kar diyaa beghar mujhe mere hi ghar ke saamane - 2
aa gayi jab pyaar ki manzil nazar ke saamane - 2
luutanevaale ne
luutanevaale ne manzil ki tamannaa luut li
muskuraane bhi na paai thi, tamannaa luut li
haaye duniyaa luut li
o jaanewaale tuune aramaanon ki duniyaa luut li
muskuraane bhi na paai thi, tamannaa luut li
haaye duniyaa luut li
o jaanewaale
