kuchh kahte kahte rah jaana
aur rukte rukte kah jaana

ye pyar to aisa hota hai
jo dil mein dard samota hai

ab bhigi bhigi shamon mein
ek chehra har pal aankhon mein

hansta bhi hai rota bhi hai
dil mein dard dubota bhi hai

ki ek ehsas mitane ko
ki dil mein dard basane ko

har dhadkan mein har aangan mein
ki chhanke hath ke kangan mein

ye rang nazar bas aata hai
aisa aksar ho jata hai

dil ka dagh anokha hai
'khanam' ye sab to dhoka hai
