Ajeeb dastan hoti hai doston ki
Ladna milne se achcha lagta hai,
Ladke manane wale bhi hote hain kuch
To kuch ko chidhana achcha lagta hai,
Doston ke moonh se kuch sunne ke liye
Kabhi jhuk jana bhi achcha lagta hai,
Safar train ka ho ya zindagi ka
Khatm hi na hoti inki baten,
Phir bhi kabhi khamosh rah kar
Muskurana achcha lagta hai,
Doston me lagta hai, mil gayi duniya sari
Baki sab kuch bhool jana achcha lagta hai,
Mat chorna mujhe yaron, hamesha sath rakhna,
Tum sabka yarana achcha lagta hai.
