Lyrics
Ham hain to chaand aur taare
jahaan ke ye rangeen nazaaren
haay re haay o duniya
ham teri nazar me aawaare
ham hain to chaand aur taare
jahaan ke ye rangeen nazaaren
haay re haay o duniya
ham teri nazar me aawaare
aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa
jeewan ke ye lambe raste
kaatenge gaate hanste
jeewan ke ye lambe raste
kaatenge gaate hanste
mil jaayegi hamko manzil
ik roz to chalte chalte
mil jaayegi hamko manzil
ik roz to chalte chalte
armaan jaawaan hain hamaare
choone ko chale hain sitaare
haay re haay o duniya
ham teri nazar me aawaare
Ham hain to chaand aur taare
jahaan ke ye rangeen nazaaren
haay re haay o duniya
ham teri nazar me aawaare
ek josh hai apne dil me
ghabraayen na ham mushkil me
ek josh hai apne dil me
ghabraayen na ham mushkil me
seekha hi nahin ruk jaana
badhte hi chale mehfil me
seekha hi nahin ruk jaana
badhte hi chale mehfil me
karte hain gagan se ishaare
bijli pe kadam hain hamaare
haay re haay o duniya
ham teri nazar me aawaare
ham hain to chaand aur taare
jahaan ke ye rangeen nazaaren
haay re haay o duniya
ham teri nazar me aawaare
aaa aaa aaa
