koi bechaaraa, koi bechaaraa
dil ko khokar khoj rahaa hai chaahat kaa maaraa

jaise jaise buund buund chaand ghulegaa
ankhiyon men ek aur kaab ghulegaa
roshani ki duur duur dhuul udegi
dhire dhire raastaa ye raaz khulegaa
ek diwaanaa jaag rahaa hai sapanon kaa maaraa
koi bechaaraa

mat jaao os ke shishon se paanv na kat jaayen
zaraa raahon se ye kaanch uthaa luun
bairi chaandani ki aanch bujhaa luun
mat jaao os ke shishon se paanv na kat jaayen

jhuk gayi hai aankh to salaam kiyaa hogaa
dil ne shaayad hansake tera naam liyaa hogaa
kal kyaa hogaa aaj na jaane raahi banjaaraa
koi bechaaraa
