Gallan kar na taal zara kar khyal

Kade puchle haal rehna tere naal
Dil majboor mera ki kasoor
Rehna nahi main door mere hazzor
Dil majboor mera ki kasoor
Rehna nahi main door mere hazzor
Sehni nahi judai ehi meri kamayi
Jane Khuda vi akh tere nall layi
Sehni nahi judai ehi meri kamayi
Jane Khuda vi akh tere nall layi
Mere soneya mere mahrbaan mere haniya mere dil janiyaa
Mere soneya mere mahrbaan mere haniya mere dil janiyaa
