Chanda suraj laakho taare hai jab there heere saare
Kis baath par hothi hai phir thakraare
Keenchi hai lakkeere is jameen pe padna keencho dekho
Beech mein do dilon ke ye deevaare
Duniya mein kahin bhi, dard se koyi bhi...
Duniya mein kahin bhi, dard se koyi bhi
Thadpe tho hum kho jahaan pe Ehsaas uske zakhmon ka hothe
Apna bhi dil bar bar laaye role aankhen
Doori kyon dilon mein rahe faasle kyon badthe rahe
Pyaari hai zindagi hai pyaara jahaan
Rishte badi mushkilon se
Humpe hai yahaan pe dekho
Tooto dilon se lekin ek hi lamha
Ishk dava hai har ek dard ki
Zanjeer ishk hai har ek rishte ki
Ishk saari adhaon ko thod daale
Ishk tho duniya kho pal mein bhi nikaal de
Ishk hai jo saare jahaan kho aman pi de
Ronak ishk se hai saare laalam ki...
