lyrics

(aaj bhi... aaj bhi...)

Subah char baje uthta hoon abhi bhi
Guruji ki aawaz ab bhi kaan mein hai
Maine unka sapna chhoda, unki taleem nahi
(nahi, nahi)
Aaj bhi wahi sur, alag si zameen

Woh kehte the sangeet bikta nahi
(bikta nahi)
Main kehta hoon dekhiye

Aaj bhi, aaj bhi
Wahi raag, naya shehar
Aaj bhi, aaj bhi
Jo tha mera, ab bhi mera hai

Barish aayi jaise har saal aati hai
Nadi wahi hai, main hi badal gaya
Log kehte hain maine sab bech diya
(bech diya)
Par riyaz abhi bhi roz karta hoon

(alaap, unaccompanied, ornamented)
Aaaa... aaa...
(strings crash back in)

Aaj bhi, aaj bhi
Wahi raag, naya shehar
Aaj bhi, aaj bhi
Jo tha mera, ab bhi mera hai

(aaj bhi...)
