ek bakhat kee baath bataaen, ek bakhat kee
jab shahar hamaaro so gayo tho, vo raat gajab kee
ek bakhat kee baath bataaen, ek bakhat kee
jab shahar hamaaro so gayo tho, vo raat gajab kee

jugni naache chunar odhe khoon nahaai re

jugni naache chunar odhe khoon nahaai re

saba oro gullal put gayo, saba oro mein
he, saba oro gullal put gayo bipada chai re

jis raat gagan se khoon kee baarish aayi re
jis raat gagan se khoon kee baarish aayi re
jis raat gagan se khoon kee baarish aayi re
jis raat gagan se khoon kee baarish aayi re

sarabor ho gayo sahar aur sarabor ho gayi dharaa
sarabor ho gayo re jattha insaano ka padaa-padaa
sabhee jagat ye pooche tha, jab itana saba kuch ho rio tho
to sahar hamaaro kayin-baisa aankh moond kai so rayo tho
to sahar ye bolio neend gajab kee aisee aayi re

jis raat gagan se khoon kee baarish aayi re
jis raat shahar mein khoon kee baarish aayi re
jis raat shahar mein khoon kee baarish aayi re

sannata viraanaa, khamoshi anjaani
jindagi letee hai karvatein tufaani
ghirte hai sae ghanere se, jindagi letee hai karvatein tufaani
badhate hain andhere pishaachon se, kaanpe hai jee unke naachon se

kaheen pe vo juuton kee khatkhat hai, kaheen pe alaavon kee chatpat hai
kaheen pe hai jhingur kee awaazen, kaheen pe vo nalke kee tap-tap hai
kaheen pe vo khaali see khidki hai, kaheen vo andheri see chimney hai
kaheen hilte pedo ka jattha hai, kaheen kuch munderon pe rakhaa hai

re-re-re-re, re-re-re
ho, ro-ho

sunsaan gali ke nukkad par jo koyi kutta cheekh-cheekh kar rota hai
jab lamp post kee gandali peelee ghupp raushnee mein kuch-kuch sa hota hai
jab koyi saaya khud ko thodaa bacha-bachaakar gum saayon mein khota hai
jab pul ke khambon ko gaadi ka garam ujalaa dheeme-dheeme dhota hai

tab shahar hamaaraa sota hai
tab shahar hamaaraa sota hai
tab shahar hamaaraa sota hai, ho

jab shahar hamaaraa sota hai to maalum tumko haan kya-kya kya hota hai
idhar jaagti hai laashen jinda ho murda udhar zindagi khota hai
idhar cheekhti hai ek hawwa khayrali us aspataal mein biferi see
haath mein uske agle hee pal garam maance ka naram lothada hota hai

idhar ugi hai takaraaren jismon ke jhatpat len-dein mein unchi see
udhar ghaav se riste khun ko door guzarati aankhen dekhen rukhi see
lekin usko leke rang-birange mehalon mein gunjaish hotee hai
nashe mein duube sehan se khoonkhaar chutkulon kee paidaaish hotee hai

adhanange jismon kee dekho lipi-puti see lagee numaaish hotee hai
laar tapakate chehron ko kuch shaitani karne kee khvaahish hotee hai
vo pooche hain hairaan hokar, aisa saba kuch hota hai kab
vo batalaao to unako aisa tab-tab, tab-tab hota hai

jab shahar hamaaraa sota hai
jab shahar hamaaraa sota hai
jab shahar hamaaraa sota hai, ho
