saadgi toh hamaari zara dekhiye

1 / 1: Couplet

saadgi toh hamaari zara dekhiye aitbaar aapke vaade par kar liya

baat toh sirf ek raat ki thi magar

intezaar aapka umr bhar kar liya

please notice my naivete

i believed the promise you made

sure, it was mentioned one night

and i waited for you all my life
