Lyrics:

Zindagi dene wale sun

Teri duniya se dil bhar gaya

Main yahaan jeete jee mar gaya

Zindagi dene wale sun

Teri duniya se dil bhar gaya

Main yahaan jeete jee mar gaya

Zindagi dene wale sun

Raat kat-ti nahin din guzarta nahin

Zakm aisa diya hai ke bharta nahin

Aankh veeran hai, dil pareshan hai

Gham ka saaman hai

Jaise jaadu koi kar gaya

Zindagi dene wale sun

Teri duniya se dil bhar gaya

Main yahaan jeete jee mar gaya

Zindagi dene wale sun

Bekhata toone mujh se khushi chheen li

Zinda rakha magar zindagi chheen li

Kar diya dil ka khoon, chup kahan tak rahoon

Saaf kyun na kahoon

Tu khushi se meri dar gaya

Zindagi dene wale sun

Teri duniya se dil bhar gaya

Main yahaan jeete jee mar gaya

Zindagi dene wale sun

Thank you for listening

Peace

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

Lyrics:

Ae mere dil kahin aur chal

Gam ki duniya se dil bhar gaya

Dhundh le ab koi ghar naya

Chal jahaan gam ke maare na ho, Jhuthhi asha ke taare na ho

Un bahaaron se kya faayada

Jis men dil ki kali jal gi

Zakhm fir se hara ho gaya

Chaar ansu koi ro diya, Fer ke munh koi chal diya

Lut raha tha kisi ka jahaan  

Dekhati rah gi ye jmin

Chup raha beraham asamaan

Ae mere dil kahin aur chal

Gam ki duniya se dil bhar gaya

Dhundh le ab koi ghar naya.

Thank you for listening

Peace
