Suraiya Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

हम थे तुम्हारे, तुम थे हमारे
हाए वो भी जमाना याद करो
हम थे तुम्हारे, तुम थे हमारे
हाए वो भी जमाना याद करो

दिल को लगाके हमसे आँखे चुराके
डोर गये हो जब से आए ना जाके
च्छुपके जहाँ पर मिलते थे हम तुम

हाए वो भी ठिकाना याद करो
हम थे तुम्हारे, तुम थे हमारे
हाए वो भी जमाना याद करो

खेल नही है कोई दिल का लगाना
देखो वो बाते कहीं भूल ना जाना
तीर चले थे नॅज़ारो के जिस पर
हाए वो भी निशाना याद करो
हम थे तुम्हारे, तुम थे हमारे
हाए वो भी जमाना याद करो
हाथो में आ के दामन च्छुत ना जाए
यह दो दिलों के रिश्ते टूट ना जाए
दिल से कभी जो दिल ने कहा था
हाए वो भी फसाना याद करो

हम थे तुम्हारे, तुम थे हमारे
हाए वो भी जमाना याद करो
