dil naa ummid to nahi naakaam hi to hai
lambi hai gam ki shaam magar shaam hi to hai

ye safar bahut hai kathin magar na udaas ho mere hamasafar
ye safar bahut hai kathin magar na udaas ho mere hamasafar
na udaas ho mere hamasafar

ye sitam ki raat hai dhalane ko hai andheraa gam kaa pighalane ko
ye sitam ki raat hai dhalane ko hai andheraa gam kaa pighalane ko
zaraa der is me lage agar zaraa der is me lage agar
na udaas ho mere hamasafar
ye safar bahut hai kathin magar na udaas ho mere hamasafar

nahi rahanevaali ye mushkile ye hai agale mod pe mazile
nahi rahanevaali ye mushkile ye hai agale mod pe mazile
meri baat kaa tu yakin kar meri baat kaa tu yakin kar
na udaas ho mere hamasafar
ye safar bahut hai kathin magar na udaas ho mere hamasafar

kabhi dhundh legaa ye kaaravaa vo nai zamin nayaa aasamaan
kabhi dhundh legaa ye kaaravaa vo nai zamin nayaa aasamaan
jise dhundhati hai teri najar jise dhundhati hai teri najar
na udaas ho mere hamasafar
ye safar bahut hai kathin magar na udaas ho mere hamasafar
ye safar bahut hai kathin magar na udaas ho mere hamasafar
na udaas ho mere hamasafar
