1. Aaj phir dil ne ek tamanna ki
Aaj phir dil ko humne samjhaya
Zindagi dhoop tum Ghana saaya
Tumko dekha to yeh khayal aaya
2. Jidhar jaate hain sab jaana udhar achchha nahin lagta
Mujhe pamal raston ka safar achchha nahin lagta
3. Tab hum dono waqt chura kar laate the
Ab milte hain jab bhi fursat hoti hai
4. Oonchi imaaraton se makaan mera ghir gaya
Kuch log mere hisse ka suraj bhi kha gaye

Thoda ghum hai sabka qissa, Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa

In charaghon mein tel hi kam tha, kyun gila ham ko phir hava se rahe
