(Jagte raho hatheli khulne lagi
Ki raat ab udne lagi kahaniyo ki
Sham to chale sulagne do jara shab ko
Ki khusbu aayegi sabko hare kwabo ki) - (2)
Pehla pehla ye kadam hai
Chahat hai par zor kam hai
Pehli pehli raat hai ye
Aage jo ho akhir nagar thik hai to sabhi thik hai
Jagte raho hatheli khulne lagi
Ki raat ab udne lagi kahaniyo ki
Jagte raho
Jab raat ki thaili khule
Kya janiye kya kuch mile
Ho o o jab raat ki thaili khule
Kya janiye kya kuch mile
Shehnayi bhi sanate bhi
Sapne kahi kharate bhi
Chalke chalke nain bhi hai
Bechani me chain bhi hai
Pehli pehli raat hai ye
Aage jo ho akhir nagar thik hai to sabhi thik hai
Jagte raho hatheli khulne lagi
Ki raat ab udne lagi kahaniyo ki
Jagte raho
(Ye raat hai farman ki
Umeed ki arman ki) - (2)
Shikve gile narazagi
Aankho me oas ki tazagi
Katara katara jab ghulegi
Nikhari nikhari shab khulegi
Pehali pehali raat hai ye hai
Aage jo ho akhir nagar thik hai to sabhi thik hai
Jagte raho hatheli khulne lagi
Ki raat ab udne lagi kahaniyo ki
Sham to chala sulagne do jara shab ko
Ki khusbu aayegi sabko hare kwabo ki
Pehla pehla ye kadam hai
Chahat hai par zor kam hai
Pehli pehli raat hai ye
Aage jo ho akhir nagar thik hai to sabhi thik hai
Jagte raho hatheli khulne lagi
Ki raat ab udne lagi kahaniyo ki
Jagte raho
