Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam

Male version

Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam
Phir mujhe nargisi ankhon ka sahaara de de
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazaara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam

Bhool sakti nahin ankhe wo suhaana manzar
Jab tera husn mere ishk se takraaya tha
Aur phir raah mein bikhre the hazaaron nagme
Main woh nagme teri awaaz ko de aaya tha
Saaz-e-dil ko unhi geeton ka sahaara de de
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazaara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam

Yaad hai mujhko meri umr ki pehli woh ghadi
Teri ankhon se koi jaam piya tha maine
Meri rag rag mein koi barq si leharaayi thi
Jab tere marmari haathon ko chhua tha maine
Aa mujhe phir unhi haathon ka sahaara de de
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazaara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam

Maine ek baar teri ek jhalak dekhi hai
Meri hazrat hai ke main phir tera deedar karoon
Tere saaye ko samajh kar main haseen Taj Mahal
Chandni raat mein nazron se tujhe pyaar karoon
Apni mehki huyi zulfon ka sahaara de de
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazaara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam

Dhoondhta hoon tujhe har raah mein har mehfil mein
Thak gaye hai mere majboor tamanna ke kadam
Aaj ka din meri umeed ka hai akhari din
Kal na jaane main kahan aur kahan tu ho sanam
Do ghadi apni nigaahon ka sahaara de de
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazaara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam

Saamne aake zara purdah uthha de rukh se
Ek yahi mera ilaaj-e-gam-e-tanhaai hai
Teri furqat ne pareshaan kiya hai mujhko
Ab toh mil jaa ke meri jaan pe ban aayi hai
Dil ko bhooli hui yaadon ka sahaara de de
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazaara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam




Female version

Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam
Phir mujhe nargisi ankhon ka sahaara de de
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazaara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam

Ai mere khwaab ki tabeer, meri jaan-e-gazal
Zindagi meri tujhe yaad kiye jaati hai
Raat din mujh ko sataata hai tasavvur tera
Dil ki dhadkan tujhe awaaz diye jaati hai
Aa mujhe apni sadaaon ka sahaara de de
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazaara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam

Yaad hai mujhko meri umr ki pehli woh ghadi
Teri ankhon se koi jaam piya tha maine
Meri rag rag mein koi barq si leharaayi thi
Jab tere marmari haathon ko chhua tha maine
Aa mujhe phir unhi haathon ka sahaara de de
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazaara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam

Saamne aake zara purdah uthha de rukh se
Ek yahi mera ilaaj-e-gam-e-tanhaai hai
Teri furqat ne pareshaan kiya hai mujhko
Ab toh mil jaa ke meri jaan pe ban aayi hai
Dil ko bhooli hui yaadon ka sahaara de de
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazaara de de
Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam
