Faasle dar se tere kam to naa hue Dil ye deewana magar wahaan harsu aaya Fikre kasne mere kam to naa hue Haste mizhgaan mein magar ik aansoo aya Do dinon pehle to tum jawaan hue Do dinon mein kaafir hona tumhe khoob aaya Dil ye deewana magar wahaan harsu aaya Dil ko roz samjhaana befazool nikla Jahaan dil thha, wahaan roz ghiske koi naasoor aaya Dil ye deewana magar wahaan harsu aaya
