Do pal ruka, khwabon ka kaarvan
Aur phir chaldiye tum kahan hum kahan..
Do pal ki thi yeh dilon ki daastaan
Aur phir chaldiye tum kahan hum kahan...
Aur phir chaldiye tum kahan hum kahan...
Tum the ke thi koi ujli kiran
Tum the ya koi kali muskaayi thi
Tum the ya sapnon ka tha saawan
Tum the ya khushiyon ki ghata chaayi thi
Tum the ki the koi phool khila
Tum the ya mila tha mujhe naya jahan
Do pal ruka khwabon ka kaarvan
Aur phir chaldiye tum kahan hum kahan....
Do pal ki thi ye dilon ki daastan
Aur phir chaldiye tum kahan hum kahan.......(2)
Aaaaa........
Tum the ya khushboo hawaaon mein thi
Tum the ya rang saari dishaaon mein the
Tum the ya roshni raahon mein thi
Tum the ya geet gonje fizaaon mein thi
Tum the mile ya mili thi manzilein
Tum the ke tha jaadoo bhara koi samaa
Do pal ruka khwabon ka kaarvan
Aur phir chaldiye tum kahan hum kahan....
Do pal ki thi ye dilon ki daasatan
Aur phir chaldiye tum kahan hum kahan........(3)
