Lyrics:

Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Yun hi pehlu mein baithe raho
Haaye mar jaayenge hum to lut jaayenge
Aisi baatein kiya na karo
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo

Tum hi socho zara kyun na roke tumhe
Jaan jaati hai jab uth ke jaate ho tum
Tumko apni kasam jaan-e-jaan
Baat itni meri maan lo
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Haaye mar jaayenge hum to lut jaayenge
Aisi baatein kiya na karo

Waqt ki qaid mein zindagi hai magar
Chand ghadiyan yehi hain jo aazaad hain
Inko kho kar meri jaan-e-jaan
Umr bhar na taraste raho
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Haaye mar jaayenge hum to lut jaayenge
Aisi baatein kiya na karo
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo

Kitna masoom rangeen hain yeh sama
Husn aur ishq ki aaj meraaj hai
Kal ki kisko khabar jaan-e-jaan
Rok lo aaj ki raat ko
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Yun hi pehlu mein baithe raho
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
Haaye mar jaayenge hum to lut jaayenge
Aisi baatein kiya na karo
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo
