(Aisi Sazaa Deti Hawaa, Tanhai Bhi Tanha Nahi) 2
Neenden Bhi Ab Sone Gayi , Raaton Ko Bhi Parvaah Nahi..
Aise Mein Baarish Ki Boondon Se Apni, Saason Ko Sehla Bhi Do
Badhti Hawaon Ke Jhokho Se Dil Ko, Nagma Koi Laa Bhi Do
Palko Ki Kono Pe Baaithi Nami Ko, Dheeme Se Pighla Bhi Do
Aaaaaaa.Yeh Zindagi Aisi Hi Thi, Tumne Kabhi Jaana Nahi
Jeevan Ki Rahon Mein Aana Ya Jaana, Bata Ke Nahi Hota Hai
Jaate Kahin Hai Magar Jaante Naa, Ki Aana Wahin Hota Hai
Khone Ki Zid Mein Yeh Kyu Bhoolte Ho, Ki Paana Bhi Hota Hai
Wo Pal Abhi Waisa Hi Hai, Choda Tha Jo Jaisa Wahi
Aisi Sazaa Deti Hawaa, Tanhai Bhi Tanha Nahi
Neenden Bhi Ab Sone Gayi, Raaton Ko Bhi Parvaah Nahi..
