Pal-pal jeena muhaal mera tere bina
Yeh saare nashe bekaar, teri aankhon ke siva
Ghar nahi jaata, main bahar, rehta tera intezaar
Mere khwaabon mein aa, na karke 16 singaar
Main ab kyun hosh mein aata nahi?
Sukoon yeh dil kyun paata nahi?
Kyun todun khud se jo the waade?
Ke ab yeh ishq nibhana nahi
Main modun tumse jo yeh chehra
Dobara nazar milana nahi
Yeh duniya jaane mera dard
Tujhe yeh nazar kyun aata nahi?
Sohneya, yoon tera sharmana meri jaan na le-le
Kaan ke peechhe zulf chhupana, meri jaan, kya kehne!
Zaalima, tauba tera nakhra! Iske waar kya kehne!
Thaam ke baithe dil ko ghayal, kahin haar na baithein
Teri nazrein mujhse kya kehti hain, inmein wafa behti hai
Thodi-thodi si raazi, thodi si khafa rehti hain
Log hain zaalim bade, inmein jafa dekhi hai
Yeh duniya teri nahi, maine tujh mein haya dekhi hai
Jeena muhaal mera tere bina
Yeh saare nashe bekaar, teri aankhon ke siva
Ghar nahi jaata, main bahar, rehta tera intezaar
Mere khwabon mein aa, na karke 16 singhaar
