Wo Kab Ayen Khuda Jaane Sitaro Tum Tu So Jao.
Howay Hain Hum Tu Dewane Sitaro Tum Tu So Jao.
Kahan Tak Mujh Se Humdardi Kahan Tak Meri Ghumkhawri.
Hazaron Ghum Hain Anjane Sitaro Tum Tu So Jao.
Guzar Jaye Gi Ghum Ki Raat Umeedo Tu Jaag Utho.
Sanbhal Jaein Gay Dewane Sitaro Tum Tu So Jao.
Humein Rodad-e-Hasti Rat Bhar Mein Khatam Karni Hai.
Na Chero Our Afsane Sitaro Tum So Jao.
Humare Deedah-e-Be Khowab Ko Taskeen Kya Do Gay.
Humein Loota Hai Dunya Ne Sitaro Tum Tu So Jao.
Ussay: QABIL: Ki Chashm-e-Num Se Derina Taluq Hai.
Shab-e-Gham Tum Ko Kya Jane Sitaro Tum Tu So Jao.
