mere meheboob na jaa, naa jaa naa jaa

mere meheboob na jaa, aaj ki raat na jaa

hone waali hai sahar, thodi der aur thahar

mere meheboob na jaa, aaj ki raat na jaa

hone waali hai sahar, thodi der aur thahar

mere meheboob na jaa

dekh kitna haseen mausam hai

har taraf ik ajeeb aalam hai

jalwe is tarah aaj nikhre hain

jaise taare zameen pe bikhre hain,

jaise taare zameen pe bikhre hain

mere meheboob na jaa, aaj ki raat na jaa

maine kaatein hain intezaar ke din

tab kahin aaye hain bahaar ke din

yun naa jaa dil ki shammaa gul kar ke

abhi dekha nahin hai jee bhar ke,

abhi dekha nahin hai jee bhar ke

mere meheboob na jaa

jab se zulfon ki chhaanv paayi hai

beqaraari ko neend aayi hai

is tarah mat jaa yun hi sone de

raat dhalne de subah hone de

raat dhalne de subah hone de,

mere meheboob na jaa, aaj ki raat na jaa

mere meheboob na jaa, aaj ki raat na jaa

is tarah pher kar nazar mujh se

door jaayega tu agar mujhse

chaandni se bhi aag barsegi

shammaa bhi roshni ko tarsegi

shammaa bhi roshni ko tarsegi,

mere meheboob na jaa, aaj ki raat na jaa

mere meheboob na jaa, aaj ki raat na jaa
