dilli - delhi heights

jaagegi raat bhar
aur bhaagegi saath par par?? daalegi
belagaam khayaalon ko
puchhegi yeh sawaal aur maangegi
yeh hisaab na sunegi
tere jawaabon ko
yahaan hai ek nadi
aur wahaan ek laal kila
par kahaan hain iss shehar ka falsafa

yahaan aansu aur geet
aur jawaani ki maine tere naam
kiya paar aadhi raat
aur sadke thi sab mere baad??
main tha, tu thi, aur thi dilli bass...

kahin koyi ud rahaan hain
kahin koyi gir rahaan hain
kahin koyi hain khada, kagaar pe
kahin koyi khele jua
aur kahin koyi bane gulaam
aur kahin koyi hain pada intzaar mein
jab gaya kal main kutubminaar
aur suna tha maine ailaan ki
bani hai yahaan ek nayi party
aawaara hai naam
bhatkana hai jiska vidhaan
fursat hai kaam
kuchh dhundala sa apana nishaan hai
wahaan main tha, tu thi, aur thi dilli bass...

dekhe yahaan kayi
mausam badlate huye
dekhe jasbe kayi
yahaan paththar banate huye
kayi waqt se pehle
sab aaj tu kehle

yahaan aansu aur geet
aur jawaani ki maine tere naam
kiya paar aadhi raat
aur sadke thi sab mere baad??
main tha, tu thi, aur thi dilli bass...

aawaara hai naam
bhatkana apana vidhaan hain
fursat hai kaam
kuchh dhundala sa apana nishaan hai
aur main hoon, tu hain, aur hain dilli bass...
