Pritam Lyrics

करने लगा है
फिर किसी का इंतज़ार
करने लगा है
फिर से चाहता है
हन पल वो खुशी के
फिर किसी से यह तो
प्यार करने लगा है
फिर किसी का इंतज़ार करने लगा है
फिर से चाहता है
हन पल वो खुशी के
फिर किसी से यह तो
प्यार करने लगा है
यह दिल को हुवा क्या है
यह दिल को हुवा क्या है
किसी के तस्सबूर में एब्ब दिन काटता है
किसी के ख़यालों में यह एब्ब जागता है
किसी के तस्सबूर में एब्ब दिन काटता है
किसी के ख़यालों में यह एब्ब जागता है
फिर वफ़ा पे ऐतबार करने लगा है
फिर फ़िज़ाव को बहार करने लगा है
फिर से देखता है यह सपने किसी के
हो हो फिर किसी पे जान निसार करने लगा है
यह दिल को हुवा क्या है
फिर से चाहे हाथों में
यह चूड़ी वाले हाट
फिर से चाहे कोई कर ले
पहारों इससे बात
फिर से चाहे रातों में
यह रातों के एहसास
फिर से चाहे होंटो पे
होंटो की सौगात
फिर से चाहे बाहों
में हो कोई सारी रात
फिर से चाहे महकी
हुई कोई मुलाकात,
कोई मुलाकात
फिर से खाइश बार
बार करने लगा है
फिर लबों से ज़िक्र
यार करने लगा है
फिर से माँगता है
यह चाहत किसी की
हो हो फिर तमन्नाए
हज़ार करने लगा है
फिर मुझे दिल बेकरार
करने लगा है
यह दिल को हुवा क्या है
यह दिल को हुवा क्या है
यह दिल को हुवा क्या है.
