(Verse 1)
Tanha raahon mein chala tha main,
Tere khwabon ke saaye saath the.
Dil ke kone mein chupaa ek dard,
Jo alfaaz na jaane, bas aankhon se beyaan hua.
(Pre-Chorus)
Pal pal teri yaadon mein dooba,
Har saans mein teri khushboo mehka.
Dil ke gehrayiyon mein chhupi thi jo baat,
Bezubaan si, ab shor macha jaaye.
(Chorus)
Khoya sa safar hai, dard mein bhi hai aas,
Tere bina jeena ab to hai khaas.
Raat ke saaye mein chaandni si hai roshni,
Meri dhadkan mein bas tera hi naam hai.
(Verse 2)
Barse zakhm jo dil pe mere,
Tere pyar ki boondein unhe sajaayein.
Raat ke aangan mein khilte hain phool,
Teri muskaan ban ke mujhe chhoo jaayein.
(Pre-Chorus)
Har khwab mein tera chehra hai,
Har saans mein tera zikr hai.
Beete lamhon ki wo kahani,
Jo ab bhi meri rooh ko jagaye.
(Chorus)
Khoya sa safar hai, dard mein bhi hai aas,
Tere bina jeena ab to hai khaas.
Raat ke saaye mein chaandni si hai roshni,
Meri dhadkan mein bas tera hi naam hai.
(Bridge)
Phir bhi main rukta nahin,
Tere pyaar ka aasra hai.
Jo gum tha, voh khushbu ban gaya,
Jo doori thi, voh paas aa gayi.
(Outro)
Khoya sa safar hai, ab roshan hai,
Tere pyaar se mera jahaan hai.
Dil ke is safar mein, tere saath chalna hai,
Har dard ko pyaar se bharna hai.
