Kyu dil umeed karta hai! Kyu palat palat tujhe khojta hai!

Janta hai tu nahi hai wahan!

Kyu fir tere ek deedar ko tarusta hai!

Kyu dil umeed karta hai! Kyu palat palat tujhe khojta hai!

Nadani hai iski, kon isse samjhye

Ajanbi hai shehar, koi isse na apnaye

Kyu fir Aarmon ki potli liye chal deta hai

Kyu dil umeed karta hai! Kyu palat palat tujhe khojta hai!

Sawal toh aate hai isko bhi karne

Jawab ki apaksha bhi rakhta hai

Kyu fir nahi tutta nerasha mei bhi jab tanha jag chordta hai

Kyu dil umeed karta hai! Kyu palat palat tujhe khojta hai!

Kehti hai duniya galat hai woh

Dekha na usne tera dard kyu

Roti thi tu jab tanha apne sarhane se lipat kar

Kyu fir bhi rehta tha woh aankhien mund kar

Jawab nahi hai is dil ke pass, umeed hai, reh gaye hai kahin abhi bhi ek aas!

Kyu dil umeed karta hai! Kyu palat palat tujhe khojta hai!
