Chalte chalte
Yòòhee koee mil gayaa thaa
Sare-raah chalte chalte
Wahèè tham ke reh gayee hai
Meri raat ḍhalte ḍhalte
Jo kahee gayee naa mujhse
Wo zamaanaa keh rahaa hai
Ke fasaanaa, ban gayeei hai
Meri baat talte talte
Shab-e-intzaar aakhir
Kabhi hogee mukhtsar bhee
Yeh chiraag bujh rahe hai
Mere sath jalte jalte
Yeh chiraag bujh rahe hai
