Kal Ka Pataa

Anjaanaa koi mile raah mein

Jaanaa pehchana lage

Jaise kisi duusri zindagi se

Aa gaya ho dham se…

Kisi ki hontho ki hansi

Bataye ki koi dost hai apna

Kya hua 'gar woh humrahi nahi

Par safar nahi hai soona…

Kehte hai ki pyaar mein

Dard ka samandar hota hai

Par ishq yunhi badnaam hua

Dhoka toh ummeed deta hai

Khud se hi karun main guftagu

Kya pata log soche naadaan

Samjhe koi bezubaan lavzon ko

Kehte toh sabhi apni daastaan

Har mod pe ek nayi duniya hai

Kyun dhunde tu kal ka pata?

Jo beet gaya who toh bas ek yaad

Aaj haal-e-dil toh bata...
