Dedecated To Shy

Ek Shararat Karte Hain

Aao Mohabbat Karte Hain,

Hansti Aankhon Se Keh Du

Dariya B Hijrat Karte Hain

Kuch Dil Aese hain Jin Par

Hum B Hukumat Karate Hain.

Zinda Rehna HaiDushwar.

Chalo aao Himmat Karte Hain.

Wese Hiti Nahi Hain Log,

Jesi Hum chahat Karte Hain.

Aksar Apne Aap Se Hum

Teri Shikayat Karte Hain.

Ek Baat Kehna Chahte Hain Faraz?

Hum Tum Se Mohabbat Karte Hain,

Hum Tum Se Mohabbat Karte Hain,.....!)

Phir hareef e bahar ho bethay

Janay kis kis ko aaj ro bethay

Saari duniya se door ho jae,

Jo xara tere paas ho bethay,

Na gai teri be rukhi na gai,

Hum teri aarzoo b kho bethay

Aye kuch aur kuch sharaab aye

Us ke baad aye jo azaab aye

Kar raha tha gham e jahan ka hisaab

Aaj tum yaad behisaab aye
