jeevan bhar dhoondha jisako vo pyaar mila par nahi mila 
saath nibhaata sukh-dukh mein vo yaar mila par nahi mila 
jeevan bhar dhoondha ... 

usaki soorat aankhon mein usaka jalava dil mein hai 
mujhako aisa lagata hai jaise vo mahafil mein hai 
rang badalati duniya mein diladaar mila par nahi mila 
jeevan bhar dhoondha ... 

is duniya ki reet ki kaatir maine baat nibhaai hai 
yoon to hansata rahata hoon par chot jigar pe khaai hai 
chaahat ke doraahe par gamakvaar mila par nahi mila 
jeevan bhar dhoondha ...
