Rehna tu pal pal dil ke paas
Judi rahe tujhse har ik saans…
Khud pe pehle na itna yaqeen mujhko ho paya
Mushqil si ghadiyan asaan huyi ab jo tu aaya
Ik baat kahun tujhse
Tu paas hai jo mere
Seene se tere sar ko laga ke
Sunti main rahun naam apna
Seene se tere sar ko laga ke
Sunti main rahun naam apna
Oh likh di tere naa’ jindadi zaaniye
Bas rehna tere naal ve zuriye
Rehna tu pal pal dil ke paas
Judi rahe tujhse har ik saans
Seene se tere sar ko laga ke
Sunta main rahun naam apna
Ho naam apna
Naal tere ik ghar main sochaan
Baari kholaan te chann dikh jaave
Akkhaan’ch beetan raatan saariyan
Je mann laage te akh na laage
Pyaar hi odhein te pyaar hi khaana
Vich koi aave te pyaar hi aana
Duniya de vich assi duniya ton door
Hunn naal tere mera har sapna
Seene se tere sar ko lagaa ke
Sunta main rahun naam apna o…
Teri ungliyon se aasmaan pe kheechun ek lambi laqeer
Aadha tera aadha mera iss jahaan mein hum do ameer
Koi nazar na aaye mainu
Tu duniya ton wakhri ho gayi
Uthaan tainu takkda jaawan
Tu hi meri naukri ho gayi (x2)
Dooriyan ek pal bhi na gawaara ho
Chal ghoome duniya phir sang awaara ho
Seene se tere sar ko laga ke
Sunti main rahun naam apna
Seene se tere sar ko laga ke
Sunti main rahun naam apna
Rehna tu pal pal dil ke paas
Judi rahe tujhse har ek saans
(Pal pal dil ke paas).
Kabir and Ruchika looked at Rishab standing alone with Maya.
Ruchika:I feel bad to see Rishab bhai alone.He is single and alone.
Kabir:He will find someone Ruchika.
Ruchika:He has a good rapport with Maya.Is there anything brewing between them?
Kabir:What are you saying Ruchika?Maya is new to our office and they are just friends.
Ruchika:Oh ok.
After 2 months…
Mrityunjay,Maya,Rishab,Kabir and others attended a press meeting regarding the new big project their company gained.
Maya and Mrityunjay were standing next to each other and talking to the press media.
They were chatting and laughing too.
Rishab’s face became dull seeing their closeness.
Mritunjay announced:We have grabbed a big project.In order to celebrate this happiness I am throwing a party to all of you.
All were excited.
Party….
All were dancing and enjoying the party.
Mrityunjay went near Maya.
MJ:May I dance with you?
Maya smiled in a shivering way.
Maya:Ok.
He held her hand and started dancing with her without taking his eyes off her.
Maya was feeling very uncomfortable.
Rishab who watched this closed his fist in anger.
He thought:Why I can’t tolerate Maya dancing with MJ Sir?
Maya was at home…
Maya remembered Mrityunjay dancing with her romantically.She got irritated.Her irritation turned into anger.She took a knife and said angrily:How dare you?I will kill you MJ.
Suddenly a man came there.
He:Maya!What are you doing?Control your anger.If you just kill him like that,you will be in the prison.
Defeat him with intelligence by tearing his mask.
Maya:But MJ has to die.
He:He should die in such a way that nobody can figure out that you are behind it.
Maya smirked.
