dil dhadkne ka sabab yaad aaya
dil dhadkne ka sabab yaad aaya
wo teri yaad thi
wo teri yaad thi, ab yaad aaya
dil dhadkne ka sabab yaad aaya

aaj mushkil tha sambhalna ae dost
aaj mushkil tha sambhalna ae dost
tu musibat me ajab yaad aaya
tu musibat me ajab yaad aaya

haal-e-dil ham bhi sunaate lekin
haal-e-dil ham bhi sunaate lekin
jab wo rukhsat hue tab yaad aaya
jab wo rukhsat hue tab yaad aaya

din gujara tha badi mushkil se
din gujara tha badi mushkil se
fir tera wada-e-shab yaad aaya
fir tera wada-e-shab yaad aaya

baith kar saya-e-gul me naasir
baith kar saya-e-gul me naasir
ham bahut roye wo jab yaad aaya
ham bahut roye wo jab yaad aaya
wo teri yaad thi
wo teri yaad thi, ab yaad aaya
dil dhadkne ka sabab yaad aaya
