Lyrics:

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain

kya kare woh jaan kar anjan hain

upar wala jaan kar anjan hain

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain

abb toh haske apni bhi kismat ko chamka de

kaano me kuchh keh de jo is dil ko bahla de

yeh bhi mushkil hain toh kya aasan hai

upar wala jaan kar anjan hain

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain

sar pe mere too jo apna hath hi rakh de

phir toh bhatke raahi ko mil jayenge raste

dil ki basti bin tere viran hai

upar wala jaan kar anjan hain

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain

dil hi toh hai isne shayad bhul bhi ki hai

zindagi hai bhul kar hi rah milti hai

maaf kar banda bhi ek insan hai

upar wala jaan kar anjan hain

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain

kya kare woh jaan kar anjan hain

upar wala jaan kar anjan hain

apni toh har aah ek tufan hain
