rishta-e-dil tere zamaane mein

rishta-e-dil tere zamaane mein

rasm hi kya nibhani hoti

muskuraaye hum us se miltay waqt

ro na partay agar khushi hoti?

meri aql-o-hosh ki sab haalatein

tumne saanche mein junoon kay dhaal deen

kar liya tha main ne ehd-e-tark-e-ishq

tumne phir baahein gale mein daal deen

sharm, dehshat, jhijhak, pareeshani

naaz se kaam kyun nahin leteen

"aap", "woh", "ji","magar" yeh sab kya hai

tum mera naam kyun nahin leteen

hai mohabbat hayaat ki lazzat

warna kuchh lazzat-e-hayaat nahin

kya ijazat hai aik baat kahun

woh...magar khair koi baat nahin

ehd-e-waabastagi guzaar kay main

wajh-e-waabastagi ko bhool gaya

yaani tum woh ho! waaqai? Had hai!

main to sach much sabhi ko bhool gaya!

ajab tha us ki dildaari ka andaaz

woh barson baad jab mujhse mila hai

bhala main poochhta us se to kaise

mataa-e-jaan tumhara naam kya hai?

saal ha saal aur aik lamha

koi bhi to na in mein bal aaya

khud hi ik dar pe main ne dastak di

khud hi larka sa main nikal aaya

hai yeh baazaar jhoot ka baazaar

to yahi jins kyun na tolein hum

kar kay ik doosray se ehd-e-wafa

aao kuchh dair jhoot bolein hum
