Roko Na Mujhe, Koyi Toko Na Mujhe
Dheere Dheere Haule Haule Khona Hosh Hai
Khushbu Iss Kadar, Mujhe Abb Kahaan Hai Sabar
Dheere Dheere Haule Haule Dil Madhosh Hai

Puri Ho Gayi, Meri Arji Khwaab Ki
Halke Halke Chhalake Chhalake Hai Sab Jaam Bhi
Ho Ho Khushoyon Ne Abhi, Ki Hai Mujhase Dosti.
Halki Halki Chhalaki Chhalaki Hai Kuchh Shaam Bhi
