Aye husn zara jaag tujhe ishq jagaye
Badle meri taqdeer jo tu hosh mein aaye
Yeh pyar ke naghmein yeh mohabbat ke taraane
Tujhko bade armaan se aaya hoon sunane
Umeed mere dil ki kahin toot na jaaye
Aye husn zara jaag tujhe ishq jagaye
Saaz-e-dile khaamosh meri ek soj jagaade
Tu bhi meri aawaaz mein aawaaz mila de
Aaya hoon teri dar pe badi aas lagaye
Aye husn zara jaag tujhe ishq jagaaye
Aye shamma tu aaja zara chilman se nikalke
Hasrat hai ki reh jaao teri aag mein jalke
Parwaana woh kya tujhpe jo mitkar na dikhaye
Aye husn zara jaag tujhe ishq jagaaye
Badle meri taqdeer jo tu hosh mein aaye
Aye husn zara jaag tujhe ishq jagaaye....
