Saaya banke saath chalenge iske bharose mat rehna,

Apne hamesha apne rahenge iske bharose mat rehna

Saawan ka mahina aate hi Baadal to chaa jaayenge,

Har Haal me lekin Barsenge iske bharose mat rehna

Suraj ke Manind Safar par roz nikalna padta hai

Baithe Baithe Din Badlenge Iske Bharose mat rehna,

Saaya banke saath chalenge iske bharose mat rehna,

Behti Nadi mein Kache Ghade Hain,Rishte Naate Husn Wafaa

Dur Talak yeh Behte Rahenge, Iske Bharose mat rehna...

Saaya banke saath chalenge iske bharose mat rehna,

Deewaron Se Milkar Rona Acha Lagta Hai,

Hum Bhi Paagal ho jayenge Aisa Lagta Hai,

Duniya Bhar ki yadein hamse Milne Aati hain,

Shaam Dhale Is sune ghar me Mela Lagta Hai,

ham bhi paagal hojayenge aisa lagta hai,

Kitne Dinon Ke Pyaase Honge Yaron Socho to,

Shabnam ka Katra Bhi Jinko Darya Lagta hai,

ham bhi paagal hojayenge aisa lagta hai,

Kisko Qaisar pathar marron, Kaun Paraaya hai

Sheesh Mahal Me Ek EK Chehra Apna lagta hai..

jis din se woh Juda hamse hue..is dil ne dhadakna chod diya

hai chand ka muh utra utra Taaron ne Chamakna chod diya..

woh paas hamaare rehte thei, beroot bhi bahaar ajaati thi

ab laakh bahaarein aayen to kya, phulon ne mehakna chod diya

Taaron ne Chamakna chod diya...is dil ne dhadakna chod diya

Hamraah koi saathi bhi nahin, ab yaad koi baaki bhi nahin,

Ab Phool khilen zakhmon ke to kya, aankhon ne barasna chod diya,

Taaron ne Chamakna chod diya...is dil ne dhadakna chod diya

Hamne yeh duaa jab bhi maangi, Taqdeer badalde Ae Maalik,

Aawaaz aayee ke ab hamne, Taqdeer badalna chod diya...

hai chand ka muh utra utra Taaron ne Chamakna chod diya..

jis din se woh Juda hamse hue..is dil ne dhadakna chod diya
