Pyaar maine jo nibhaya
Tere rehte, tere saath bhi
Sach kahun toh, uss se zyada

Main aag hoon, Tu hawa hai na

Ali, Ali, Ali, Alizeh
Tera hoon main, tujhe yaad hai na

Mera thikana chahe jahaan ho
Yaadon mein meri ghar hai tera

The sweetest soul with the kindest heart
If only you could see you the way I do
You’d see the sunshine and it’s beautiful
