| <pre>The original literary version:
Kabhi Kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aataa hai
Ki zindagi teri zulfon ki narm chhaaon mein
Guzarne paati to shaadaab ho bhi sakti thi
Yeh tiraagi jo mere zist ka muqaddar hai
Teri nazar ki shuaon mein kho bhi sakti thi</pre>
||<pre>The movie version is:
Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Me, Khayal Aata Hai
Ke Jaise Tujhko Banaya Gaya Hai Mere Liye
Tu Ab Se Pahle Sitaro Me Bas Rahi Thi Kahi
Tujhe Zami Pe utara Gaya Hai Mere Liye
