mujh...ko to darkaar nahin hai samjha kar
par dil ko inkaar nahin hai samjha kar
beshak tumko dekh ke kuchh kuchh hota hai
aisa pahli baar nahin hai samjha kar
imshab tumko rok to luun apne ghar men
chat hai बस,दीवार nahin hai samjha kar
khanda-lab vo sab se hañs kar milta hai
ai dil ye izhaar nahin hai samjha kar
pyaar vyaar maine sab karke dekh liya
in baaton men saar nahin hai samjha kar
badan mere tu tan-aasaani maang raha
hisse men itwaar. nahin hai samjha kar
ek nahin do job laga dete tumko
mauji ki sarkaar nahin hai samjha kar
