Pukaar

Kitni bholi thi yeh Zindagi
Sabko pyaari thi apni bandagi
Ab kaisa hai yeh sama
Khauf bardta chala yahaan

Koi to ab suno pukaar
Aansoon ruke nahi iss baar
Yeh kahar hai jaane kaisa
Kabhi socha nahi tha aisa

Le chalo dhuey ke par
Koi to ab suno pukaar

Where’s the sunshine dear
What’s this constant fear
When shall we have our share
Of love & peace right here

Oh! God we need you here…
Come here… You are our saviour… Answer our prayer…
Oh! God you are our saviour…answer our prayer…

Apno main chupa hai woh chehra
Karne lage hai ab apno se pehra

Woh to kissi ke nahi hote hai
Upperwale ka naam lete hai
Aur unhi ke ghar tor dete hai
Unka na dharm hai, Na hai koi bhasha…
Phir bhi jalaye rakhna ek asha…

Har barood se dard to mila
Par kuch der ka tha woh gila
Jinke nahi the apne…
Sajane lage apne nayey sapney…

Bahut hua ab yeh sanghaar
Kar do khali unka har ek vaar
Bas karo bharosa, mat daro…

Karo ek dusre se pyaar…
Har zakhm bhar do iss baar
Le chalo dhuey ke par
Koi to ab suno pukaar

Where’s the sunshine dear
What’s this constant fear
When shall we have our share
Of love & peace right here

Oh! God we need you here…
Come here… You are our saviour… Answer our prayer…
Oh! God you are our saviour…answer our prayer…

Yahi hai woh samay
Yahi hai woh waqt…
Jab unko nahi hai rukna
Tab hume kyun hai jhukna

Sir utha ke…
Haath mila ke…
Ab kuch aisa kar jaana hai
Shanti ka paigam lana hai
Unki soch ko mitana hai

Suno tum ab dil ki pukaar
Ho gayi hai seher
Subah hone wali hai
Yeh raat saath-saath kaat lo…
Subah hone wali hai…
