Lyrics
Dil mera akela, hai khaabon ka mela
Hum ho gaye gum
Dhadkan mein tum, saanson mein tum
Nindon mein tum, yaadon mein tum
Dhadkan mein tum, saanson mein tum
Dil mera akela, hai khaabon ka mela
Hum ho gaye gum
Dhadkan mein tum, saanson mein tum
Nindon mein tum, waadon mein tum
Hamane dhunda tumhe haay kitane janam
Sabne luta hamein, haay kitana sanam
Kaise kaise kahein dil mein kitane hai ghum
Bhar do bhar do sanam mera har ik jakham
Tere jakhm bharu tujhe pyaar karun - (2)
Teri aankhon mein aahon mein baahon mein mera jahaan
Tere kadam mere kadam, milkar chale ik hoke hum
Dhadkan mein tum, saanson mein tum
Had se aage mujhe abb gujar jaane de
Rokana ruh mein abb utar jaane de
Paas aa jaaneman, dil machal jaane de
Shamma jalati hai kyun abb pighal jaane de
Tu jo chaahe karun main jiyu ya maru - (2)
Tere armaano ki sej pe abb toh nikalega dum
Kar le kar le jitane sitam, teri kasam seh lenge hum
Dil mera akela hai khaabon ka mela, hum ho gaye gum
(Dhadkan mein tum, saanson mein tum
Nindon mein tum, yaadon mein tum) - (2)
Dhadkan mein tum, o o o saanson mein tum
Nindon mein tum, o o o waadon mein tum
