Song: Shabnam Kyon Nir Bahaye

Lyrics

Shabnam kyon nir bahaye – (2)
Duneeya soye, aur yeh roye jaye
Shabnam kyon nir bahaye

Jaise niradhan ke rone par -2, hansate hain dhanavan
Vaise shabanam ke rone par -2, kaliyo kee musakan
Shabanam roye, kaliyo kaa munh dhoye
Apni jan ganva kar pagalee, jag me phul khilaye – (2)
Shabnam kyon nir bahaye – (2)

Murakh hain jo char ghadee ke -2, jivan par itarate hain
Hansate phulo ko dekho jo -2, khilate hi murajhate hain
Shabnam roye, murakh gafil soye
Ro ro ke shabanam iss jhuthe, jag kaa bhed bataye – (2)
Shabnam kyon nir bahaye – (2)
