Tum Pukar Lo Lyrics

Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmm hmm hmmm, hmm hmm hmmm
Tum pukar lo, tumhara intezar hai
Tum pukar lo
Khwab chun rahi hai raat bekarar hai
Tumhara intezar hai
Tum pukar lo
Honth pe liye huye dil ki baat hum
Jaagte rahenge aur kitni raat hum
Honth pe liye huye dil ki baat hum
Jaagte rahenge aur kitni raat hum
Mukhtsar si baat hai tumse pyar hai
Tumhara intezar hai
Tum pukar lo
Dil behal to jayega is khayal se
Haal mil gaya tumhara apne haal se
Dil behal to jayega is khayal se
Haal mil gaya tumhara apne haal se
Raat yeh karaar ki bekarar hai
Tumhara intezar hai
