saanware tore bina jiyaa jaaye naa
saanware tore bina jiyaa jaaye naa
jaloon tere pyaar mein
karoon intezaar tera
kisi se kahaa jaaye naa
saanware tore bin jiyaa jaaye naa
dhoondhey meri preet re tu hai kahaan meet re
aansoon baney geet re
aahen baney sangeet re
saanware tore bin jiyaa jaaye naa
yaad tihaari moraa mann tadapaaye
saari raina neend na aaye
birahaa ki maari dekhoon raah tihaari
do nainon ke deep jalaaye
jaloon tere pyaar mein
karoon intezaar tera
kisi se kahaa jaaye naa
saanware tore bin jiyaa jaaye naa
dhoondhey meri preet re
tu hai kahaan meet re
aansoon baney geet re
aahen baney sangeet re
saanware tore bin jiyaa jaaye naa
doob chaley meri aas ke taare
kaise pahunchoon pii ke dwaarey
toot gaye sab sang sahaare
bole naiyaa door kinaare
jaloon tere pyaar mein
karoon intezaar tera
kisi se kahaa jaaye naa
saanware tore bin jiyaa jaaye naa
dhoondhey meri preet re
tu hai kahaan meet re
aansoon baney geet re
aahen baney sangeet re
