Dheemi dheemi khulne lagi hain aaj raahein
Rangne lage hain manzil ko jaane ke raah saare
Jaise aasman ke cheente pade ho banke sitaare
Dheemi dheemi roshni si beh rahi hai inn hawaon mein yahaan
Hairat hairat hairat hai
Tu hai toh har ek lamha khoobsurat hai
Hairat hairat hairat hai
Shaam hui koi jo noor aa gaya
Yahaan ho gayi hai subah
Raat ka naam o nishaan tak nahi kahin
Hai sehar har jagah
Khoyi khoyi khwabon mein
Chupi chupi khwaishein
Naram se ret pe geeli geeli baarishein
Lipta hoon raahon mein
Raahon ki baahon mein
Hai ab meri jagah
Kal pe cha gaya dhuan
Yeh jo pal naya hua
Ho gayi shuru nayi daastaan
Hairat hairat hairat hai
Tu hai toh har ek lamha khoobsurat hai
Hairat hairat hairat hai
Tu hai toh har ek lamha khoobsurat hai
Dheemi dheemi chalne lagi hain ab hawaein
Dheemi dheemi khulne lagi hain aaj raahein
Rangne lage hain manzil ko jaane ke raah saare
Jaise aasman ke cheente pade ho banke sitaare
Dheemi dheemi roshni si beh rahi hai inn hawaon mein yahaan
Hairat hairat hairat hai
Tu hai toh har ek lamha khoobsurat hai
Hairat hairat hairat hai
Tu hai toh har ek lamha khoobsurat hai

History will curse bollywood for not giving LUCKY ALI his due respect.
@Mr_president03
Everybody's blaming Bollywood for not giving the chance to lucky ali but I feel that the one who should be blamed is ourselves because Bollywood brings everything according to the trend or what is in demand and who sets the demand? Yes right. That's us. Everyone's saying badshah, tony kakkar is that and this but if everyone stops listening to them will be in demand? I don't think so.
