Yeh Tanhai, Haay Re Haay

thaam lo baahe, thaam lo baahe
zoom zoom gaaoo, pyaar se sharamaaoo, yek nashaa saa muze ho chalaa
teree meree chaahe, roj badhee jaaye, aaur toote naa kabhee silasilaa
dekh teree meree, ab yek dagareeyaa, thaam lo baahe
aaj bane saathee, dip aaur baatee, zagamagaayee meree jindagee
paa ke tere saaye, kaun aage jaaye, too milaa to milee har khushee
tan man chamake, hain jaise bijureeyaa
aaj samay aayaa, maine tuze paayaa, main lataa hoo tere pyaar kee
fool naye laaoo, tuz ko mahakaoo, main kalee hoo tere haar kee
pyaar kee humaare, amar ho umareeyaa
