subah toh honae de

na rokunga tujhe chale jaana, subah toh honae de
bas yehi hai ik bahaana, subah toh honae de

bhar denge iska bhi jurmaana, subah toh honae de
tu bhi keh lena deewaana, subah toh honae de

kal bhi aaoge yeh maana, subah toh honae de
kal se hai kiska yaraana, subha toh honae de

saqi, chodh denge tera maikhaana, subah toh honae de
‘ishq’ ka waise bhi kya thikaana, subah toh honae de

voh aaega toh tu chale jaana, subah toh honae de
na-mumkin hai noor ko rok paana, subah toh honae de
