Aa...
Sa ni dha pa ma ...
Zindagi jhoom kar muskuraane ko hai... (2)
Pyaar apni kahaani sunaane ko hai.... (2)
Zindagi jhoom kar muskuraane ko hai
[Khwaab aankhon mein lekar deewaane chale
Kya hai deewangi ye dikhaane chale]--- (2)
Hosh khone chale jaan ganwaane chale
Ishq ki baazi lagaane ko hai
Zindagi jhoom kar muskuraane ko hai... (2)
Pyaar apni kahaani sunaane ko hai... (2)
Zindagi jhoom kar muskuraane ko hai
Ab nigahein mili aur pyaar ho gaya... (2)
Aur pyaar ho gaya.... (4)
