Koyi kya pahachaane, jiskaa gam vo hee jaane

Koyi kya pahachaane, jiskaa gam vo hee jaane

Begaane lage apanae; aur apanae lage begaane

Koyi kya pahachaane, jiskaa gam vo hee jaane

Koyi kya pahachaane, jiskaa gam vo hee jaane

Kya hai milana, kya bichhadana, khel saba taqadeer ke

Ek hoke kyun hain lagate rang do tasveer ke?

Vaqt badle, badle chehare, kab ho kya, kisko pata

Yahi duniyaa kee reet hai, koyi maane ya naa maane

Koyi kya pahachaane, jiskaa gam vo hee jaane

Koyi kya pahachaane, jiskaa gam vo hee jaane

Muskuraahat kee lahar mein aansuon kee pyaas hain

Door dil se dil kee dhadakan, phir bhee aas-paas hai

Kya vafaa, kya bewafaai, raaj ye jaane hai hum

Koyi karthaa nahin jaan ke, hotee hai khataa anjaane

Koyi kya pahachaane, jiskaa gam vo hee jaane

Koyi kya pahachaane, jiskaa gam vo hee jaane

Begaane lage apanae; aur apanae lage begaane

Koyi kya pahachaane, jiskaa gam vo hee jaane
