Lyrics:

koi hota jisko apna, ham apna kah lete yaaro

paas nahi to dur hi hota lekin koi mera apna

koi hota jisko apna, ham apna kah lete yaaro

paas nahi to dur hi hota lekin koi mera apna

aankho me nind na hoti, aansu hi terte rahte

kvaabo me jaagte ham raat bhar

aankho me nind na hoti, aansu hi terte rahte

kvaabo me jaagte ham raat bhar

koi to gam apnata, koi to saathi hota

koi hota jisko apna, ham apna kah lete yaaro

paas nahi to dur hi hota lekin koi mera apna

bhula hua koi vaada, biti hui kuchh yaade

tanhaai dohrati hai raat bhar

bhula hua koi vaada, biti hui kuchh yaade

tanhaai dohrati hai raat bhar

koi dilasa hota, koi to apna hota

koi hota jisko apna, ham apna kah lete yaaro

paas nahi to dur hi hota lekin koi mera apna
