Ishq Hove Na Hove Na Bereham Bewajah
Dil Tod Ke Na Jaa Muh Mod Ke Na Jaa… (2)
Toota Toota Dil Hai Hai Rutha Rutha Rab
Hamne Hai Jana Ab Kya Hai Pyar Ka Sabab

Naya Nashtar Koi Laaye Hameen Pe Aazmaaye

The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Dil Tod Ke Na Jaa Muh Mod Ke Na Jaa" as a plea to the listener to stay, not to walk away and turn their back on the relationship. The next verse speaks to the confusion and uncertainty that often accompany a breakup, with questions about what went wrong and why the love they shared was not enough. The lyrics speak to the side effects of love, like passion, possession, jealousy, and obsession, and how they can turn into defects that ultimately lead to heartbreak.
