ab to kuchh aur bhii a.ndheraa hai

dil abhii tak javaan hai pyaare
ham hii me.n thii na koii baat, yaad hii na tum ko aa sake
Khuun ban kar munaasib nahii.n dil bahe
ko_ii chaaraa nahii.n duaa ke sivaa
koii davaa na de sake mashvaraa duaa diyaa

tuu bhii kisii kaa pyaar na paaye Khudaa kare
ye kyaa muqaam hai vo nazaare kahaa.N gaye
