wo nahin badnaam, jisne dil ko hai paida kiya

kissa ye apna kisko sunaye kissa ye apna kisko sunaye
hum to huye badnaam hum to huye badnaam

apne labo ko seeke humne ishq mein naam kamaya
apne labo ko seeke humne ishq mein naam kamaya

kissa ye apna kisko sunaye kissa ye apna kisko sunaye
hum to huye badnaam hum to huye badnaam

maikhane se uski gali tak jab apni shauhrat faili
maikhane se uski gali tak jab apni shauhrat faili
jab apni shauhrat faili log hame phir kaise bhulaye
hum to huye badnaam log hame phir kaise bhulaye

kissa ye apna kisko sunaye kissa ye apna kisko sunaye
hum to huye badnaam hum to huye badnaam

humne to gharbar lutaya, unke vaade par
