Tere bina zindagi se koi shikwa to nahin
Shikwa nahin, shikwa to nahin, shikwa to nahin
Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin zindagi to nahin
Zindagi nahin, zindagi nahin, zindagi nahin
Tere bina zindagi se koi shikwa to nahin
Kaash aisa ho tere kadmon se chun ke manzil chale
Aur kahin door kahin
Kaash aisa ho tere kadmon se chun ke manzil chale
Aur kahin door kahin
Tum gar saath ho, manzilon ki kami to nahin
Tere bina zindagi se koi shikwa to nahin
Shikwa nahin, shikwa to nahin, shikwa to nahin
Jee mein aata hai tere daaman mein
Sar chhupa ke hum rote rahein, rote rahein
Jee mein aata hai tere daaman mein
Sar chhupa ke hum rote rahein, rote rahein
Teri bhi aankhon mein aansuon ki nami to nahin
Tere bina zindagi se koi shikwa to nahin
Shikwa nahin, shikwa to nahin, shikwa to nahin
Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin zindagi to nahin
Zindagi nahin, zindagi nahin, zindagi nahin
Tum jo keh do to aaj ki raat chaand doobega nahin
Raat ko rok lo
Tum jo keh do to aaj ki raat chaand doobega nahin
Raat ko rok lo
Raat ki baat hai aur zindagi baaki to nahin
Tere bina zindagi se koi shikwa to nahin
Shikwa nahin, shikwa to nahin, shikwa to nahin
Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin zindagi to nahin
Zindagi nahin, zindagi nahin, zindagi nahin
Tere bina zindagi se shikwa to nahin
