Tujhey Ishq Ho Khuda Karay �.. Koe Tujh Ko Uss Sey Juda Karay�. Tere Hont Hansna Bhool Jaian� Teri Ankh Purnamm Raha Karay�. To Uss Ki Batain Kya Karay�. To Uss Ki Batain Sunna Karay�. Ussay Dekh Kar To Ruk Paray�. Woh Nazar Jhuka Kar Chala Karay� Tujhey Hijjar Ki Woh Jharri Lagay�. To Millan Ki Her Pall Dua Karay�. Tere Khuwab Bikhrain Tott Kar �. To Kirche Kirche Chunna Karay�. To Nagar Nagar Phira Karay�. To Galli Galli Sada Karay�.. Tujhey Ishq Ho Phir Yakeen Hoo�. Main Kahoon �Ishq Dhong� Hai�. To Nahin Nahin Kaha Karay�..!

Rahmaten hain tiri aghiyar ke kashaanon par, Barq girti hai tau bechare Musalmaanon par! Yeh shikait nahin, hain un ke khazane maamur, Nehin mehfil mein jinhen baat bhi karne ka shaoor, Qahar tau yeh hai ke kafir ko milen hoor-o-qasoor, Aur bechaare Musalmaan ko faqt waada-e-hoor!
