[Kabhi jaage soye, kabhi hanste gaate
 Kabhi tanha tanha, kabhi aate jaate]-- (2)
Dil dhadakne lage bevaje besabab -- (2)
Kya isi ko mohabbat kehte hain sab -- (2)

Kabhi jaage soye, kabhi hanste gaate
Kabhi tanha tanha, kabhi aate jaate
Dil dhadakne lage bevaje besabab -- (2)
Kya isi ko mohabbat kehte hain sab --- (2)

Kabhi jaage soye, kabhi hanste gaate
Kahin ruk gaya to kahin main chal pada
Zamaana yeh samjha deewaana main bada
Yeh main bhi na jaanoon main kya chaahta
Meri kya tamanna main kya sochta

Kabhi rafta rafta, kabhi chalti chalti
Bechaini de de chaahat bedardi
Dil dhadakne lage bevaje besabab -- (2)
Kya isi ko mohabbat kehte hain sab -- (2)

Kabhi jaage soye, kabhi hanste gaate
Koi ek chehra khayaalon mein rahe
Main aashiq usi ka voh chupke se kahe
Mera haal kya hai kise hai pata
Meri beqaraari na main jaanta

Kabhi tanhaai mein, kabhi mehfil mehfil
Kise dhoonde aankhen ab manzil manzil
Dil dhadakne lage bevaje besabab -- (2)
Kya isi ko mohabbat kehte hain sab -- (2)

Kabhi jaage soye, kabhi hanste gaate
Kabhi tanha tanha, kabhi aate jaate
Dil dhadakne lage bevaje besabab ---- (4)
