aise naa the ham jaisi hamaari ki rusawaayi logo ne
kuchh tumne kuchh tun ne, badnaam kiya kuchh
aag lagaayi logo ne, aise naa the ham

ho sakta hai tumne jo dekha ho, sanam tumhaari najaro kaa dokha ho
dil se naa dur karo yaar hame, hamne kiya hai pyaar tumhe
ho sakta hai tumne jo dekha ho, sanam tumhaari najaro kaa dokha ho
ek jara si baat pe kya kya baat banaayi logo ne
kuchh tumne kuchh tumne badnaam kiya, kuchh aag lagaayi logo ne

thokar me iss dil ko liye, thod ke tum tho chal bhee diye
tumko khabar kya sheher me uss din, id manaayee logo ne
kuchh tumne kuchh tumne badnaam kiya, kuchh aag lagaayee logo ne

aise naa the ham, jaisi hamaari, ki rusawaayi logon ne,
kuchh tum ne, kuchh tun ne, badnaam kiya kuchh
aag lagaayi logo ne, aise naa the ham

We were not as they painted us to be,
A shame they wrought, a twisted decree.
Some by your hand, some with fiery breath,
They fueled the flames, a dance with death.
We were not so.

Perhaps what you saw was a trick of the light,
A beloved's glance, veiled in the night.
From a whisper's start, a tempest they spun,
On a single phrase, the ruin begun.
We were not so.

This heart you took, then shattered and fled,
Leaving me broken, among the dead.
You cannot know the joy that they found,
The feast they held, on hallowed ground.
We were not so.

Ask not of love's affliction and pain,
Your wound, a mark that will ever remain.
My sorrow resides in this cruel display,
This final judgement, they embraced that day.
We were not so.
