bas ek dhun thī samundar ko paar karne kī

maiñ jāntā thā samundar ke paar kuchh bhī na thā

bas ek dhun thi samundar ko par karne ki

main jaanta tha samundar ke par kuchh bhi na tha

gāmzan haiñ ham musalsal ajnabī manzil kī samt

zindagī kī aarzū meñ zindagī khote hue

gamzan hain hum musalsal ajnabi manzil ki samt

zindagi ki aarzu mein zindagi khote hue

hādisa kaun sā huā pahle

raat aa.ī ki din Dhalā pahle

hadisa kaun sa hua pahle

raat aai ki din Dhala pahle

kartā hai kār-e-raushnī mujh ko jalā ke din

kartī hai kār-e-tīrgī mujh ko bujhā ke raat

karta hai kar-e-raushni mujh ko jala ke din

karti hai kar-e-tirgi mujh ko bujha ke raat

merī taraf sabhī ki nigāheñ thiiñ aur maiñ

jis kashmakash meñ sab the usī kashmakash meñ thā

meri taraf sabhi ki nigahen thin aur main

jis kashmakash mein sab the usi kashmakash mein tha
