My name is ali sun zaraa manchali
Dil churaa ke meraa tu kahaan chali……….excuse me 2 please
Mujhe neend ab naa aaye, meri jaan chali naa jaye
Tune dil mein to machaadi khalbali……….excuse me 2 please

Bandaa main sidhaa saadaa,
Mujhe nahi pataa ae dilrubaa ye ho rahaa hai kyaa
Jaadoo teraa jab chhaaye, paagal ye mujhako banaaye
Kaisi aag mere sine me jale………excuse me 2 please

Tu hai meri tamannaa,
Main tere pyaar mein khumaar mein sanam yun kho gayaa
Teri har adaa behakaaye, kaise ye dil samjhaaye,
Saari raat bekaraari mein dhali………excuse me 2 please

My name is ali sun zaraa manchali
Dil churaa ke meraa tu kahaan chali……….excuse me 2 please
Mujhe neend ab naa aaye, meri jaan chali naa jaaye
Tune dil mein to machaadi khalbali……….excuse me 2 please
