Meri sanso me basa hai tera hee ek nam
Teri yad humsafar subah o sham - (2)
Meri sanso me basa hai tera hee ek nam
Teri yad humsafar subah o sham - (2)
Too mere din me, rato me, khamoshi me, bato me
Badal ke hatho me bheju tujhko yeh payam
Teri yad humsafar subah o sham - (2)
Meri sanso me basa hai tera hee ek nam
Teri yad humsafar subah o sham - (2)
(Ankho me tasvir hai jaise too meri takdir hai jaise
Us dil se iss dil tak aati dhadkan kee janjir hai jaise) - (2)
Khwabo khwabo too mile naa janey kya hain silsile
Palko par yeh pyar ke naa janey kitne gul khile
Tere khwab sajte rehna abb hai mera kam
Teri yad humsafar subah o sham - (2)
Meri sanso me basa hai tera hee ek nam
Teri yad humsafar subah o sham - (2)
Ho ho ho...
(Phulo par shabnam kee nami hai, rango kee mehfil si jami hain
Mausam bhi, manjar bhi, mai bhi kehte hain bas teri kami hai) - (2)
Bago me ham jo mile toh gaye sari koyale
Mehke sara yeh sama hawaye mehki si chale
Teri khushbu se bhar jayey kaliyo ke yeh jam
Teri yad humsafar subah o sham - (2)
Meri sanso me basa hai tera hee ek nam
Teri yad humsafar subah o sham - (2)
Too mere din me rato me, khamoshi me bato me
Badal ke hatho me bheju tujhko yeh payam
