tum zara mujhay to bataao, meri dilruba - A mehboob asks his mehbooba

O meri dilruba,
meray mohabbat k madhosh dil main
ye urti huee kwaashain kahan say aa rehi hain
tum zara mujhay to bataao, meri mehbooba

duniya ye sawaal poochti hai -
hawaaon nay gaanthain yahaan kyon lagaaee
dhoka daar yahaan kyon aayay
itni baarish yahaan kyon huee
itnai bakwaasi ki baatain yahaan kyon huee
tum zara mujhay to bataao, meri mehbooba

baatoN baatoN main meri aankhaiN
is duiya ko ye nateeja deti hain
sachay dil se kehti hain -
ye toofaan kahan se aaya
mujhay lay chalo is toofan par bitha kar
ho jaaeygi hamaray dil k pyaar ki baat tab
do dil mil jaaengay pyaar main
kya ye khyaal kharab hai meri dilruba
tum zara mujhay to bataao, meri mehbooba

apnay pairion par main chal raha hoon
aag lag rehi hai meri unglion main
zindgi guzaar di main nay in ajnabion main
main is zameen ka parinda nahin hoon
lay chalo mujhay paharon k kisi registaan main
dushman hai ab ye sara jahan mera
hai na ye baat sab sach, meri dilruba
tum zara mujhay to bataao, meri mehbooba.
