[Koyi nahin hai kamre mein, kya haseen mila hai pal
Aaj sharaarat karne do, kaam baaki karenge kal] -- (2)
Shreya:
Jaao baaba jaao, aise na behkaao
Hosh mein aa jaao, paagal na bano tum
Shaan:
Dilbar shikdum shikdum -- (8)
Shaan:
Khidkiyaan kahen, parde gira do
Is tarha se na, mujhko saza do
Shreya:
Chhod do mujhe, jaane bhi do na
Hai qasam tumhein, yun zid karo na
Shaan:
Kaise ye majboori, kis liye hai doori
Shreya:
Ho bade diwaane, hai mujhko ye maaloom
Shaan:
Dilbar shikdum shikdum -- (8)
Shaan:
Na sataao tum yun muskuraake
Choom lo sanam, baahon mein aake
Shreya:
Achcha lo chalo, haari main haari
Maan li sabhi baatein tumhaari
Shaan:
Baaton hi baaton mein, pal guzar na jaayein
Shreya:
Aao ek duje mein, ho jaayein kahin gum
Shaan:
Dilbar shikdum shikdum -- (8)
Shreya:
[Koyi nahin hai kamre mein, kya haseen mila hai pal
Aaj sharaarat karne do, kaam baaki karenge kal] -- (2)
Shaan:
Jaao baaba jaao, aise na behkaao
Hosh mein aa jaao, paagal na bano tum
Both:
Dilbar shikdum shikdum -- (8)
