Lyric

Subah se pehle rasoi mein

Thanda paani ungliyon ko kaat raha hai

Radio par purana jazz bajta hai

Shehar sard aur khamosh hai

Geeli sadak, bas qadmon ki aahat

Wahi purani chaal mein chalti hui

Coat ke neeche chhupi garmahat

Kal ke zakhm abhi bhi dard dete hain

Hawa kehti hai, “Mazboot ban”

Saaye kehte hain, “Naram reh”

Is jammi hui raat ke beech

Bas mera jism sach bolta hai

Agar sakht na rahun

To subah nahi aayegi

Yeh shehar sardi utaarta nahi

Par agar rehmat ko phenk doon

To jeena, jeena nahi rahega

Pairon se zameen pe taal de

Safed saans ko hilne de

Sakht bhi, naram bhi

Main abhi bhi naach raha hoon

Hey hey, rukna nahi

Hey hey, ehsaas kar

Is jammi raat ko thok kar

Mehsoos karun ke zinda hoon

Band dukaan ke sheeshe mein

Neon sardi mein ghul raha hai

Nazar hataana aasaan hota

Par seene ki garmahat zinda hai

Kandhe seedhe, khud ko bachane ko

Awaaz dheemi, kuch toot na jaaye

Jeb mein jamme haath

Chup chaap tham kar khade

Agar sakht na rahun

To raat kaat na paaoon

Yeh duniya tez aur thandi hai

Par agar naram na rahun

To garmahat bhi kho jaayegi

Kamar se lehra de taal

Sardi ko gale laga

Sakht bhi, naram bhi

Mujhe abhi bhi yakeen hai

Khidki ke baahar baraf nahi girti

Bas khamoshi jama hoti hai

Phir bhi ek kadam aage

Yahi mera tareeka hai

Agar sakht na rahun

To zinda na reh paaoon

Sardi ne itna toh sikhaya

Par agar naram na reh paaoon

To subah door chali jaayegi

Subah se pehle safed saans

Par dil abhi bhi garam hai

Sakht bhi, naram bhi

In dono ke beech main hoon

Raat dheere dheere khulti hai

Qadam ki aahat door hoti hai
