Lyrics
dil naa-ummeed to nahin, naakaam hi to hai
lambi hai gham ki shaam, magar shaam hi to hai
ye safar bahut hai kathin magar
naa udaas ho mere hamsafar
ye safar bahut hai kathin magar
naa udaas ho mere hamsafar
nahin rahnewaali ye mushkilen
ye hain agle mod pe manzilen
nahin rahnewaali ye mushkilen
ye hain agle mod pe manzilen
meri baat kaa tu yakeen kar
meri baat kaa tuu yakeen kar,
naa udaas ho mere hamsafar
ye safar bahut hai kathin magar
naa udaas ho mere hamsafar
kabhi dhoondhh legaa ye kaarwaan
wo nayi zameen nayaa aasmaan
kabhi dhoondhh legaa ye kaarwaan
wo nayi zameen nayaa aasmaan
jise dhoondhti hai teri nazar,
jise dhoondhti hai teri nazar,
naa udaas ho mere hamsafar
ye safar bahut hai kathin magar
naa udaas ho mere hamsafar
ye safar bahut hai kathin magar
naa udaas ho mere hamasafar
naa udaas ho mere hamasafar

दिल नाउम्मीद तो नहीं, नाकाम ही तो है
लम्बी है ग़म की शाम, मगर शाम ही तो है
ये सफ़र बहुत है कठिन मगर
ना उदास हो मेरे हमसफ़र
ये सफ़र बहुत है कठिन मगर
ना उदास हो मेरे हमसफ़र
नहीं रहनेवाली ये मुश्किलें
ये हैं अगले मोड़ पे मंज़िलें
नहीं रहनेवाली ये मुश्किलें
ये हैं अगले मोड़ पे मंज़िलें
मेरी बात का तू यकीन कर
मेरी बात का तू यकीन कर,
ना उदास हो मेरे हमसफ़र
ये सफ़र बहुत है कठिन मगर
ना उदास हो मेरे हमसफ़र
कभी ढूँढ़ लेगा ये कारवां
वो नई ज़मीं नया आस्मां
कभी ढूँढ़ लेगा ये कारवां
वो नई ज़मीं नया आस्मां
जिसे ढूँढ़ती है तेरी नज़र,
जिसे ढूँढ़ती है तेरी नज़र,
ना उदास हो मेरे हमसफ़र
ये सफ़र बहुत है कठिन मगर
ना उदास हो मेरे हमसफ़र
ये सफ़र बहुत है कठिन मगर
ना उदास हो मेरे हमसफ़र
ना उदास हो मेरे हमसफ़र

I had not paid much attention to this song. After watching the movie in 1990s, the next time I listened to this song was while posting it here.

The first two lines of this song is actually the 4th she’r of Faiz Ahmad Faiz’s ghazal:
ham par tumhaari chaah ka ilzaam hi to hai
dushnaam to nahin hai ye ikraam hi to hai

Love this song.
This could be my favourite song of the movie – and that means a lot considering the movie has so many other lovely songs. But I usually like off-beat songs and this one is about as off-beat as they came in the 1990s.
