aahaten ho rhi teri
dil ke dar pe, tuh yhin hai khin na khin
aahaten ho rhi teri
dil ke dar pe, tuh yhin hai khin na khin
kabhi mere khwab sa,
kabhi uljhe jwab sa,
ke chanda ke deedar sa,
mere jesa tuh ki dariya ka ho ek sira
ke armano ka silsila
ke sehra me viyag sa
mere jesa tuh
mere jesa tuh...
aahaten ho rhi teri
dil ke dar pe, tuh yhin hai khin na khin
tera hoon me, tujhe q na ykeen hai
chahat me aakhir meri kya kami hai
tujh hi me toh chupi meri khudi hai
meri khudi kuch na shi
kuch na shi
kuch na shi
aahaten ho rhi teri
dil ke dar pe, tuh yhin hai khin na khin
aahaten ho rhi teri
dil ke dar pe, tuh yhin hai khin na khin
aahaten ho rhi teri
dil ke dar pe, tuh yhin hai khin na khin
kabhi mere khwab sa,
kabhi uljhe jwab sa,
ke chanda ke deedar sa,
mere jesa tuh
ki dariya ka ho ek sira
ke armano ka silsila
ke sehra me viyag sa
mere jesa tuh
mere jesa tuh...
aahaten ho rhi teri
dil ke dar pe, tuh yhin hai khin na khin
