shehar dar shehar liye phirta hu tanhai ko
shehar dar shehar liye phirta hu tanhai ko
kaun sa naam du main teri shanasayi ko
shehar dar shehar liye phirta hu tanhai ko

koi mehfil ho tera naam to aa jata hai
koi mehfil ho tera naam to aa jata hai
jaan kar saath laga rakha hain ruswai ko
jaan kar saath laga rakha hain ruswai ko

jis taraf jayiye hai khokhle lafzo ka hujum
jis taraf jayiye hai khokhle lafzo ka hujum
kaun samjhe yahan aawaz ki gahrai ko
kaun samjhe yahan aawaz ki gahrai ko
shehar dar shehar liye phirta hu tanhai ko

khoob waqif hu main duniya ke chalan se rashid
khoob waqif hu main duniya ke chalan se rashid
maine parwat nahin samjha hai raai ko
maine parwat nahin samjha hai raai ko
shehar dar shehar liye phirta hu tanhai ko
kaun sa naam du main teri shanasayi ko
shehar dar shehar liye phirta hu tanhai ko

Who here understands the depth of the voice?
