Yaadon ka ek jhonka aaya hum se milne barson baad

Pahle itna roye nahin the jitna roye barson baad.

Lamha lamha ghar ujra hai mushkil se ehsaas hua

Patthar aaye barson pahle sheeshe toote barson baad.

Aaj humari khaak pe dunia rone dhone bethi hai

Phool huye hain jaane kaise itne saste barson baad.

Bhool bhi jao kaise toota kyon toota

Dhoond rahe ho kya galiyon mein dil ke tukre barson baad.

Dastak ki umeed lagaye kab tak aise jeete hum

Kal ka waada karne wale milne aaye barson baad.
