[Verse 1: Shaheer Ayub]
Kyun saansein jaa rahi hain
Aur maut paas aarahi hai?
Ab lautna hai mujhe tou
Duniya bula rahi hai
Iss zameen ki aaghosh may
Mujhe neend si aarahi hai
Ho raha hoon azaad mein
Yaa ghutan barhay jaa rahi hai?

[Chorus: Shaheer Ayub]
Kyun roya? Kya khoya?
Kya kaata? Kya boya?
Kyun roya? Kya khoya? (Kya khoya?)
Kya kaata? (Kya kaata?) Kya boya?

[Verse 2: Shaheer Ayub]
Kab hui subah, kab guzre shaam? (Guzre shaam)
Tere haathon likha mera anjaam (Mera anjaam)
Mujhe kya khabar tum ho hi nahi
Tere liye choray hazaaron paigham
Tere paas nahi tou kuch bhi nahi
Teri yaadon se fursat nahi
Tere bin jeena bekaar lagay
Jeene ki dil may aasein nahi
Jeet-haar ke baad kabhi aakay tu mil
Gira ke majboori ki har diwaar
Jeet-haar ke baad kabhi aakay tu mil
Poochle tu tootay dil ka haal
[Bridge: Shaheer Ayub]
Kyun roya? Kya khoya?
Kya kaata? Kya boya?

[Chorus: Shaheer Ayub]
Kyun roya? Kya khoya?
Kya kaata? Kya boya?
Kyun roya? Kya khoya?
Kya kaata? Kya boya?
