jaage-jaage sote hain, naa hanste, naa rote hain

khate kuch qasmein, kuch khwaab khote hain

tasviren rangon se aajakal banaate hain

baathen-vaaten karte hain aur bhool jaathe hain

barf jaise farsh pe jo dheere-dheere chalatee ho

to narm-narm paanv ke nishaan chhoot jaathe hain

be-lihaaz aankhon mein yoon based ho tum agar

mujko log dekhen to vo tumko dekh pate hain

maine sunaa jo ki tumne kabhi naa kahaa

thaaron ke aage koyi to hogee vo jagah

jahaan main aur tum jaake kho jaaen

aadaten ye ab chhute naa teri

kya aise khayaal tumko bhee sataate hain?

saath mein, har halaat mein tere hum

yahi dua kehkashan se chaahate hain

din mein naa jaage, raaton mein naa soe

rahen khoe-khoe, yaar, jajbaat mere

din mein naa jaage, raaton mein naa soe

naa hanse, naa roe

aadaten ye ab chhute naa teri

kya aise khayaal tumko bhee sataate hain?

dekhte hee dekhte zameen hai kuch sarak gayi

to aao, chaar-chah qadam saath mein badhaate hain

girane se the darte, darte-darte gir the jaathe

dar ka dar jo tha use jo kehna chaahate bhee to kah naa pate

par jo dekha aankhon ne teri to juthi hee sahee

ummiido kee patangon ko bhalaa kaise naa hum udaate?

kyonki kuch mizaaj aajakal hai donon ka hee aisa

baarishon mein mor marahamon kee raahton ke jesaa

jaise mil jae gume hue ko koyi pakkaa rastaa

sirf muskuraahaton se bhar doon tere dil ka bastaa

rahanuma, maine sunaa jo ki tumne kabhi naa kahaa

thaaron ke aage koyi to hogee vo jagah

jahaan main aur tum jaake kho jaaen

aadaten ye ab chhute naa teri

kya aise khayaal tumko bhee sataate hain?

saath mein, har halaat mein tere hum

yahi dua kehkashan se chaahate hain

din mein naa jaage, raaton mein naa soe

rahen khoe-khoe, yaar, jajbaat mere

din mein naa jaage, raaton mein naa soe

naa hanse, naa roe

aadaten ye ab chhute naa teri

kya aise khayaal tumko bhee sataate hain?

dekhte hee dekhte zameen hai kuch sarak gayi

to aao, chaar-chah qadam saath mein badhaate hain
