nind se aankh khuli hai abhi dekha kya hai
dekh lena abhi kuch der me duniya kya hai
nind se aankh khuli hai abhi dekha kya hai

bandh rakha hai kisi sonch ne ghar se humko
bandh rakha hai kisi sonch ne ghar se humko
warna apna dar o deewar se rishta kya hai
nind se aankh khuli hai abhi dekha kya hai

ret ki int ki patthar ki hu ya mitti ki
ret ki int ki patthar ki hu ya mitti ki
kisi deewar ke saye ka bharosa kya hai
nind se aankh khuli hai abhi dekha kya hai

apni daanist me samjhe koi duniya shahid
apni daanist me samjhe koi duniya shahid
warna hatho me lakiro ke ilaawa kya hai
nind se aankh khuli hai abhi dekha kya hai
dekh lena abhi kuch der me duniya kya hai
nind se aankh khuli hai abhi dekha kya hai
