Mein kaisay jiyoon
Mein kaisay jiyoon
Mera khoya sukoon
Thakan say mein chuur
Meeree neendain hain duur
Sab Umeedain hain duur

Mein Kaisay jiyoon
Mein kaisay jiyoon
Tanha hoon mein yahan
Andhera yay jahan
Kitnay zaalim hain loge
Kitnay sang dil hain loge
Kitni bay dardiaan
Kitni bay rehmiaan
Mujh ko insaaf doa
Yoon zakhmi na karo
Mujh ko jeenay toa doa
Meree jaan yoon na lo

Mein kaisay jiyoon
Mein kaisay jiyoon
Meray dil mein junoon
Meri aankhoan mein khoon
Meeree neendain hain duur
Sab Umeedain hain durr

Faaslay dil mein hoan
Dil jo mehdood ho
Loge kam zarf hoan
Qehr nazil na ho.. toa kya ho
Phir kya ho
Aisi jaga
Aisi faza
Aisa wujood..
Itna mehdood..
Itna mehdood.....


Toa Mein kaisay jiyoon
Mein kaisay jiyoon
Meray dil mein junoon
Meri aankhoan mein khoon
Meeree neendain hain duur
Sab Umeedain hain duur
