निसा सासा निसा सासा रेग रेग
निसा सासा निसा सासा रेग रेग
मध धध मध धध
निसा नि धनि धनि धप
मैने जब देखा था तुझको
रात भी वो याद है मुझको
तारे गिनते गिनते सो गया
दिल मेरा धड़का था कस के
कुछ कहा था तूने हँसके
मैं उसी पल तेरा हो गया
आसमानो पे जो खुदा है
उससे मेरी यही दुआ है
चाँद ये हर रोज़ मैं देखूं तेरे साथ में
आँख उठी मोहब्बत ने अंगड़ाई ली
दिल का सौदा हुआ चाँदनी रात में
हो तेरी नज़रों ने कुछ ऐसा जादू किया
लूट गये हम तो पहली मुलाक़ात में
हो आँख उठी
निसा सासा निसा सासा रेग रेग (आ आ आ आ)
निसा सासा निसा सासा रेग रेग (आ आ आ आ)
मध धध मध धध (आ आ आ आ)
निसा नि धनि धनि धप (आ आ आ आ)
पाँव रखना ना ज़मीन पर
जान रुकजा तू घड़ी भर
थोड़े तारे तो बिछा दू मैं तेरे वास्ते
आज़मा ले मुझको यारा
तू ज़रा सा कर इशारा
दिल जला के जगमगा दू मैं तेरे वास्ते
मेरे जैसा इश्क़ में पागल
फिर मिले या ना मिले कल
सोचना क्या हाथ ये दे दे मेरे हाथ में
आँख उठी मोहब्बत ने अंगड़ाई ली
दिल का सौदा हुआ चाँदनी रात में (आ आ आ आ)
हो तेरी नज़रों ने कुछ ऐसा जादू किया
लूट गये हम तो पहली मुलाक़ात में हो आँख उठी
निसा रेगरे सारेग पगरे सारेग पग गरे
हाँ क़िस्से मोहोब्बत के है जो किताबों में
सब चाहता हूँ मैं संग तेरे दोहराना
कितना ज़रूरी है अब मेरी खातिर तू
मुश्किल है मुश्किल है लफ़्ज़ों में कह पाना
अब तो ये आलम है तू जान माँगे तो
मैं शौंक से दे दू सौगात में
उठी मोहब्बत ने अंगड़ाई ली
दिल का सौदा हुआ चाँदनी रात में
हो तेरी नज़रों ने कुछ ऐसा जादू किया
लूट गये हम तो पहली मुलाक़ात में हो आँख उठी
