ISB Contributor:

zi.ndagii bhar nahii.n bhuulegii vo barasaat kii raat
ek a.njaan hasiinaa se mulaakaat kii raat
zi.ndagii bhar nahii.n bhuulegii ...

haay vo reshamii zulfo.n se barasataa paanii
phuul se gaalo.n pe rukane ko tarasataa paanii
dil me.n tuufaan uThaate hue
dil me.n tuufaan uThaate hue haalaat kii raat
zi.ndagii bhar nahii.n bhuulegii ...

Dar ke bijalii se achaanak vo lipaTanaa usakaa
aur phir sharm se balakhaake simaTanaa usakaa
kabhii dekhii na sunii aisii ho
kabhii dekhii na sunii aisii tilismaat ki raat
zi.ndagii bhar nahii.n bhuulegii ...

surkh aa.nchal ko dabaakar jo nicho.Daa usane
dil pe jalataa huaa ek tiir saa chho.Daa usane
aag paanii me.n lagaate hue
aag paanii me.n lagaate hue jazabaat ki raat
zi.ndagii bhar nahii.n bhuulegii ...

mere naGmo.n me.n jo basatii hai vo tasviir thii vo
naujavaanii ke hasii.n Kvaab kii taabiir thii vo
aasmano.n se utar aaii thii jo raat kii raat
zi.ndagii bhar nahii.n bhuulegii ...

The ISB is missing the lyrics of the tandem, duet version.

[lataa:]
zi.ndagii bhar nahii.n bhuulegii vo barasaat kii raat
ek a.njaan musaafir se mulaaqaat kii raat
zi.ndagii bhar nahii.n bhuulegii

haay jis raat mere dil ne dha.Dakanaa siikhaa
shoK jazabaat ne siine me.n bhaDakanaa siikhaa
merii taqadiir me.n nikharii huii, ho
merii taqadiir me.n nikharii huii saramaat kii raat
zi.ndagii bhar nahii.n bhuulegii

dil ne jab pyaar ke ra.ngiin fasaane chhe.De
aa.Nkho.n aa.Nkho.n ne vafaao.n ke taraane chhe.De
soz me.n Duub gaii aaj vahii
soz me.n Duub gaii aaj vahii naGhamaat kii raat
zi.ndagii bhar nahii.n bhuulegii

[rafii]
ruuThanevaalii!
ruuThanevaalii merii baat pe maayuus naa ho
bahake bahake Kayaalaat se maayuus naa ho
Kat_ma hogii naa kabhii tere, ho
Kat_ma hogii naa kabhii tere mere saath kii raat
zi.ndagii bhar nahii.n ...
