Tere talabgar hum na the
Hamnawa tere hum na the
Phir bhi kho ke tumhe
Kyu base ho mujh me tum
Paun tumhe chaha na tha
Chahun tumhe socha na tha
Pa ke tumhe kho na saka
Paya nahi, kho na saka
Kyu ab bhi yaad ate ho
Kyu neendo se jagate ho
Kyu Ankhon me base ho tum
Man me, tan me kyu ho tum
Jaun tum se door kahan
Mere rahnuma ho tum
Daman churaun kis tarah
Nazrein bachaun kis tarah
Meri dhadkanein teri tarah
Teri justaju meri dastan
Tere naam shabe hijr hai
Mere ashq ki zuban ho tum
