meri jaan mujhe jaan na kaho

meri jaan, 

mujhe jaan na kaho meri jaan

meri jaan, meri jaan

mujhe jaan na kaho meri jaan

meri jaan, meri jaan

jaan na kaho anjaan mujhe 

jaan kahaan rehti hai sadaa

jaan na kaho anjaan mujhe 

jaan kahaan rehti hai sadaa

anjaane, kya jaane

jaan ke jaaye kaun bhalaa

meri jaan

mujhe jaan na kaho meri jaan 

meri jaan, meri jaan

sukhe saavan baras gaye

kitne baar in aankhon se

sukhe saavan baras gaye

kitne baar in aankhon se

do boondein naa barse

in bheegi palkon se

meri jaan

mujhe jaan na kaho meri jaan 

meri jaan, meri jaan

honth jhuke jab honthon par

saans uljhi ho saanson mein 

honth jhuke jab honthon par

saans uljhi ho saanson mein 

do judwaan, honthon ki

baat kaho aankhon se

meri jaan

mujhe jaan na kaho meri jaan

meri jaan, meri jaan

mujhe jaan na kaho meri jaan

meri jaan, meri jaan
