Indian cricket ka safar hai ye kaisa safar

Please sing to the tune of Zindagi ka safar from the movie Safar

Indian cricket ka safar hai ye kaisa safar,
koi samjha nahin koi jaana nahin,
hai ye kaisa cricketer, dekhte hain sab magar,
koi samjha nahin, koi jaana nahin.

Indian cricket ko bahut pyaar hamne kiya,
haar se bhi mohabbat nibhaaenge hum,
rote rote zamaane mein aaye magar,
rote rote hi stadium se jaaenge bhi hum,
jaaenge par kidhar hai kise ye khabar,
koi samjha nahin koi jaana nahin.

Aise victories bhi hain jo jeete hi nahin,
jinko jeetne se pehle hi haar hi gaye,
careers aise bhi hain jo khile hi nahin,
jinko khilne se pehle fiza kha gaye,
hai pareshaan har, thak gaye spectator,
koi samjha nahin koi jaana nahin.
