Tere bin main yun kaise jiya
Kaise jiyaa kaise jiyaa tere bin

Lekar yaad teri raatein meri kati
Lekar yaad teri raatein meri kati
Mujhse baatein teri karti hai chaandni

Tanhaa hai tujh bin raatein meri
Din mere din ke jaise nahi

Tanha badan tanha rooh nam meri aakhein rahen
Aajaa mere ab roobaroo jeena nahi bin tere

Tere bin main yun kaise jiya
Kaise jiyaa kaise jiyaa tere bin

Kabse aahkein meri raah mein tere bichi
Kabse aahkein meri raah mein tere bichi
Bhoole se bhi kahi tu mil jaayein kahi

Bhoole naa mujhse baatein teri
Bheegi hai har pal aakhein meri

Kyon saas loon kyun main jiyoo Jeena bura saa lage
Kyon ho gaya tu bewafa mujhko bataa de wajah

Tere bin main yun kaise jiya
Kaise jiyaa kaise jiyaa tere bin
