The lyrics are Gulzaresque % in style in that there is little rhyming either in the words or in the rhythm. % The lyricist however is Kaifi Azmi and Kanu Roy does a marvellous job of % maintaining the mood of the song. % aaj kI kaalii ghaTaa, mast-mast aalii ghaTaa mujhase kahatii hai ki pyAs hai koI kaun pyAs hai, mujhe kyA maaluum aaj kii kaalii ghaTaa ... pyaas ke naam se jii Darataa hai is ilzaam se jii Darataa hai shauk-e-badan se jii Darataa hai miiThii nazaro.n me.n samaayaa hai koI kyuu.N samaayaa hai, mujhe kyA maaluum aaj kii kaalii ghaTaa ... pyaasii aa.Nkho.n me.n muhabbat leke la.Dakha.Daa jaane kii daaGat ??? leke mujhase bevajah shikaayat leke vinatii dahaliiz tak AyA hai koI kaun AyA hai, mujhe kyA maaluum aaj kii kaalii ghaTaa ... kuchh mazaa aane lagaa jiine me.n jaag uThaa dard koI siine me.n mere ehasaas ke aaine me.n ik saayaa najar AtA hai koI kisakaa saayaa hai, mujhe kyA maaluum aaj kii kaalii ghaTaa ... zindagii pahale nA thii itanI hasiin aur agar thii to mujhe yaad nahii.n yahii afasaanaa nA ban jaaye kahii.n kuchh nigaaho.n se sunaataa hai koI kyA sunaataa hai, mujhe kyA maaluum aaj kii kaalii ghaTaa ... %
