Mere Dil Mere Musafir
Hua Phir Se Hukum Saadir
Ke Watan Badar Hon Hum Tum
Dein Gali Gali Sadayen
Karein Rukh Nagar Nagar Ka
Ke Suraagh Koi Payen
Siyaar e Naama Bar Ka
Har Aik Ajnabi Se Pochein
Jo Pata Tha Apne Ghar Ka
Sar e Kuu e Na-Aashnayan
Hamein Din Se Raat Karna
Kabhi Iss Se Baat Karna
Kabhi Uss Se Baat Karna
Kahon Kis Se Mein Ke Kya Hai
Shab e Gham Buri Bala Hai
Hamein Ye Bhi Tha Ghanemat
Jo Koi Shumaar Hota
Hamein Kya Bura Tha Marna
Agar Aik Baar Hota

Kab yaad meIn teraa saath nahii’n kab haath mein teraa haath nahiin
Sad shukr ke apanii raaton mein ab hijr kii koii raat nahii.n
Mushkil hain agar haalaat vahaaN dil bech aaye.N jaa.N de aaye.N
Dil vaalo kuuchaa-e-jaanaa.N mein kyaa aise bhii haalaat nahii.n
Jis dhaj se koii maqtal me.n gayaa vo shaan salaamat rahatii hai
Ye jaan to aanii jaanii hai is jaa.N kii to koii baat nahii.n
Maidaan-e-vafaa darbaar nahio.n yaa.N naam-o-nasab kii puuchh kahaa.N
Aashiq to kisii kaa naam nahii.n kuchh ishq kisii kii zaat nahii.n
Gar baazii ishq kii baazii hai jo chaaho lagaa do Dar kaisaa
Gar jiit gae to kyaa kahanaa haare bhii to baazii maat nahii.n
