lyrics

(riyaz)

Subah paanch baje main abhi bhi baithta hoon
Wahi sur, wahi taal, wahi chaalis minute
Aur phir main studio jaake wo banata hoon
Jo mere guru ne kabhi maaf nahi kiya

Riyaz (riyaz)
Har subah riyaz
Chodi nahi, riyaz
Riyaz

Riyaz, riyaz, riyaz, riyaz
Main bhaaga tha lekin subah wahi rahi
Riyaz, riyaz, riyaz, riyaz
Bees saal se main dono hoon, dono hoon

Guruji ne mujhe dus saal baad phone kiya.
Bole: "tumhara gaana suna. Sur saaf hai." Bas itna.
Sur saaf hai. Wo unki taareef thi. Sabse badi.
(DRUMS RETURN, FULL)

Riyaz, riyaz, riyaz, riyaz
Main bhaaga tha lekin subah wahi rahi
Riyaz, riyaz, riyaz, riyaz
Bees saal se main dono hoon, dono hoon

(sur saaf hai...)
