Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bejaan dil ko tere ishq ne zinda kiya
Phir tere ishq ne hi,is dil ko tabah kiya
(Tadap tadap ke is dil se aah nikalti rahi
Mujhko saza di pyar ki, aisa kya gunah kiya
To lut gaye haan lut gaye
To lut gaye hum teri mohabbat mein)
Ajab hai ishq yara
Pal do pal ki khushiyan gham ke khazane milte hai
Phir milti hai tanhaaiyan
Kabhi aanson kabhi aahe kabhi shikwe kabhi naale
Tera chehra nazar aaye
Mujhe din ke ujaale mein
Teri yaadein tadpaayein
Raaton ke andhere mein tera chehra nazar aaye
Machal machal ke is dil se aah nikalti rahi
Mujhko saza di pyar ki aisa kya gunah kiya
To lut gaye haan lut gaye
To lut gaye hum teri mohabbbat mein
Agar mile khuda to,poochunga khudaya
Jism mujhe deke mitthi ka, sheese sa dil kyun banaya
Aur uspe diya fitrat, ke woh karta hai mohabbat
Wah re wah teri khudrat
Uspe de diya kismat
Kabhi hai milan kabhi furkat
Hai yehi kya mohabbat
Wah re teri,wah teri khudrat
Sisak sisak ke is dil se aah nikalti rahi
Mujhko saza di pyar ki aisa kya gunah kiya
To lut gaye, to lut gaye
To lut gaye hum teri mohabbat mein
Tadap tadap ke is dil se aah nikalti rahi
Mujhko saza di pyar ki aisa kya gunah kiya
To lut gaye, to lut gaye
To lut gaye hum teri mohabbat mein
