Jitni bhi inaaayat hai, meharbaani hai.

Jitni bhi inaaayat hai, meharbaani hai,
Chhoti si hee sahi, zindagaani hai.

Tere aate hi khil uthi thi bahaar
Gunah-e-shauq ki yehi kahani hai.

Hum jaakar bhi na jaa paye kabhi,
Apne dil ki tau hamne maani hai

Kuchh sard mausam ka asar hai dil par;
Aur phir hawa bhi tau barfaani hai

Tere hothon ko chookar jo lamha guzra;
Wohi lamha tau bas ik nishaani hai

Uske dil mein jitni mohabbat thee;
Aaj aakhon mein utna paani hai

Uska aana, aur phir ek baar chala jaana
Uski chahat mein ek rawaani hai
