    MD- Ram Gangulyzindaa hoon is tarah ki gham-e-zindagi nahin

    jaltaa huaa diyaa hoon magar roshni nahin


    zindaa hoon is tarah ki gham-e-zindagi nahin
    jaltaa huaa diyaa hoon magar roshni nahin

    wo muddaten huyin hain kisi se judaa huye


    wo muddaten huyin hain kisi se judaa huye
    lekin ye dil ki aag abhi tak bujhi nahin
    zindaa hoon is tarah ki gham-e

    aane ko aa chukaa thaa kinaaraa samne


    aane ko aa chukaa thaa kinaaraa samne
    khud uske paas hi meri naiyyaa gayi nahin
    zindaa hoon is tarah ki gham-e

    honthon ke paas aaye hansi, kyaa mazaal hai


    honthon ke paas aaye hansi, kyaa mazaal hai
    dil kaa muaamlaa hai koyi dillagi nahin
    zindaa hoon is tarah ki gham-e

    ye chaand ye hawaa ye fizaa, sab hain maadmaa


    ye chaand ye hawaa ye fizaa, sab hain maadmaa
    jab tu nahin to in mein koyi dilkashin nahin
    zindaa hoon is tarah ki gham-e-zindagi nahin
    jaltaa huaa diyaa hoon magar roshni nahin
    zindaa hoon is tarah ki gham-e-zindagi nahin
