aasan hai jana mehfil se, 

ho kaise jaoge nikal kar dil se

mere yaar shabba khair -(2)

hoye mere yaar shabba khair, 

mere yaar shabba khair

o dilbar dil toh kahe teri raahon ko rok lu mein -(2)

aayi birhaa ki raat ab batlaade kya karu mein -(2)

yaad aayengi yeh baatein tumhari, 

tadpegi mohabbat hamari

seene ke surkh baag mein dil ban ke aa gaya tu -(2)

ab rehne de nigahon mein masti, 

ho basa le mere khwaabon ki basti

mere yaar shabba khair - (2)

mere yaar shabba khair

hoye mere yaar shabba khair, 

mere yaar shabba khair

dilruba, dil pe tu

yeh sitam kiye jaa, kiye jaa

hum bhi to aag mein jalte rahen

pyaar ke sholon pe chalte rahen

dilruba, dil pe tu

yeh sitam kiye jaa, kiye jaa

haai, hum bhi to aag mein jalte rahen

pyaar ke sholon pe chalte rahen

kya bataao kya dil ka haal hain

jis ghadi se mile hum

jaise saikado bijliyaan giri

aur jal uthe hum

hai, kyun mujhe khaak karne par tule hon, zaalim

aakhir kya bigada hain maine tumhara?

dilruba, dil pe tu

yeh sitam kiye jaa, kiye jaa

haan, hum bhi to aag mein jalte rahen

pyaar ke sholon pe chalte rahen

ang and mein meetha dard hain

zatpataye mera dil

ek dafaa mein katl karde tu

mujhko, mere katil

hai, dil ki gehraiyon ko cheerta hua

yeh dard, yeh kasak, yeh chubhan

dilruba, dil pe tu

yeh sitam kiye jaa, kiye jaa

hum bhi to aag mein jalte rahen

pyaar ke sholon pe chalte rahen

aajdil ki tum itne paas hon

jaise meri dhadkan

ek aaj se apne jism jaan

ek apne tanman

aaj ek saath mehke hain do gulab

ek saath dhadke hain do dil

dilruba, dil pe tu

yeh sitam kiye jaa, kiye jaa

ho, hum bhi to aag mein jalte rahen

pyaar ke sholon pe chalte rahen

dilruba, dil pe tu

yeh sitam kiye jaa, kiye jaa

hum bhi to aag mein jalte rahen

pyaar ke sholon pe chalte rahen

jaane chaman ,shola badan
