Raat Gujri Unke Intezaar Mein,
Aur Aansu Bahte Rahe Pyar Mein,

Tanhai Ki Chadar Tan Se Lapete,
Bahta Raha Sanso Ki Manjhdar Mein,

Tha Khamosh Manzar Badla-Badla,
Dil Bhi Na Tha Ab Ikhtiyar Mein,

Woh Aayenge Sochta Raha Main,
Khilengi Kaliyan Phir Se Bahaar Mein,

Bewajah Nikal Pada Tha Ek Din Eh Sanam,
Pyar Dhundne Ke Liye Is Zahaan Mein…

Pyar Ne Chhoda Asar Dheere-Dheere,
Kya Hua Jo Mudi Nazar Dheere-Dheere,

Chahat Se Bhra Hua Hai Machalta Dil,
Kaafir Hui Mastani Nazar Dheere-Dheere,

Alhad Ada Thi Unki Pahle Is Traha,
Ab Diwangi Chadti Umar Dheere-Dheere,

Umadta Gaya Masti Ka Sama Fiza Mein,
Uthha Ab Jawaani Ka Bhanwar Dheere-Dheere,

Surkh Lab Utre Maidan Mein Ek Saath,
Puri Hui Uski Har Kasm Dheere-Dheere,

Sarka Jo Aanchal Fir Sanwrne Na Diya,
Madhosh Ho Gaya Pyar Mein Dheere-Dheere,

Saanso Ki Sabnam Yeh Aahon Ke Shole,
Hote Gaye Sab Be-Asar Dheere-Dheere,

Talab Rahti Hai Kho Jaaun Tujh Mein,
Hoti Rahe Shab Mein Shahr Dheere-Dheere…

Yeh Mausm Bhi Hai Deewana Aapka,
Eh Sanam Inayat Aapki Bahana Aapka,

Kuchh Raah-Geer Aaye Wahaan Se,
Shayad Laye Hon Afsana Aapka,

Eh Hawa Kushboo Lekar Aana Unki,
Nahi Chalega Ab Koi Bahana Aapka,

Maloom Hai Aapko Aadat Hai Mujhe Aapki,
Kyonki Main Hoon Jaana Pahchana Aapka,

Haan Bhigo De Use Mere Pyar Ke Rang Se,
Sukha Pada Hai Jo Aashiyana Aapka,

Yeh Mausm Bhi Hai Deewana Aapka,
Eh Sanam Inayat Aapki Bahana Aapka…
