kuch teri fakat unko sunane ke liye hain

ab ye bhi nahi thik ke har dard mita de
ab ye bhi nahi thik ke har dard mita de
kuch dard kaleze se lagane ke liye hain
kuch dard kaleze se lagane ke liye hain
ashaar mere yun to zamane ke liye hain

aankhon mein jo bhar loge to kante se bhede
aankhon mein jo bhar loge to kante se bhede
ye faag to palakon pe sajane ke liye hain
ye faag to palakon pe sajane ke liye hain
ashaar mere yun to zamane ke liye hain

dekhu tere hathon ko to lagta hai tere hath
dekhu tere hathon ko to lagta hai tere hath
mandir mein fakat deep jalane ke liye hain
mandir mein fakat deep jalane ke liye hain
ashaar mere yun to zamane ke liye hain

socho to badi chiz hai tahzib badan ki

varna to badan aag bujhane ke liye hain
varna to badan aag bujhane ke liye hain
ashaar mere yun to zamane ke liye hain
kuch teri fakat unko sunane ke liye hain
