hoke majbur mujhe usne bhulaya hoga
hoke majbur mujhe usne bhulaya hoga
zahar chupke se dava janke khaya hoga
hoke majbur mujhe usne bhulaya hoga
hoke majbur mujhe usne

dil ne aise bhi kuchh afasane sunae hoge
dil ne aise bhi kuchh afasane sunae hoge
ashq ankho ne pi aur na bahae hoge
bad kamare me jo khat mere jalae hoge
ek ik harf ek ik harf jabi par ubhar aya hoga
hoke majbur mujhe usne bhulaya hoga
zahar chupke se dava janke khaya hoga
hoke majbur mujhe

usane ghabarake nazar lakh bachai hogi
usane ghabarake nazar lakh bachai hogi
dil ki lutati hui duniya nazar ai hogi
mez se jab meri tasvir hatai hogi
mez se jab meri tasvir hatai hogi
har taraf mujhako har taraf mujhako tadapata hua paya hoga
hoke majbur mujhe usne bhulaya hoga
zahar chupke se dava janke khaya hoga
hoke majbur mujhe

chhed ki bat pe araman machal ae hoge
chhed ki bat pe araman machal ae hoge
gam dikhave ki hansi ne na chhupae hoge
nam par mere jab ansu nikal ae hoge
nam par mere jab ansu nikal ae hoge
sar na kandhe sar na kandhe se saheli ke uthaya hoga
hoke majbur mujhe usne bhulaya hoga
zahar chupke se dava janke khaya hoga
hoke majbur mujhe

zulf zid karake kisi ne jo banai hogi
zulf zid karake kisi ne jo banai hogi
aur bhi gam ki ghata mukhade pe chhai hogi
bijali nazaro ne kai din na girai hogi
rang chahare pe kai roz na aya hoga
hoke majbur mujhe usne bhulaya hoga
zahar chupke se dava janke khaya hoga
hoke majbur mujhe

Forced to forget, she must have,
Forced to forget, she must have,
Secretly swallowing poison, mistaking it for cure,
Forced to forget, she must have.
Forced to forget...

Her heart, it must have spun tales of its own,
Her heart, it must have spun tales of its own,
Tears swallowed down, never allowed to flow,
In a closed room, when my letters were burned,
Each word, each word, upon her brow did bloom,
Forced to forget, she must have,
Secretly swallowing poison, mistaking it for cure,
Forced to forget...

Anxious, her eyes, she tried to evade,
Anxious, her eyes, she tried to evade,
Her heart's world, crumbling, she must have gazed,
From the table, when my photograph was moved,
From the table, when my photograph was moved,
Everywhere, everywhere, my ghost she found,
Forced to forget, she must have,
Secretly swallowing poison, mistaking it for cure,
Forced to forget...

At a mention, desires, they must have surged,
At a mention, desires, they must have surged,
Sorrow, by a forced smile, could not be concealed,
At my name, when tears began to cascade,
At my name, when tears began to cascade,
Her head, her head, she couldn't lift from a friend's shoulder,
Forced to forget, she must have,
Secretly swallowing poison, mistaking it for cure,
Forced to forget...

A tress, stubbornly styled by another,
A tress, stubbornly styled by another,
Upon her face, a darker grief descended,
Lightning from her gaze, for days, it didn't strike,
Color to her face, for days, it didn't return,
Forced to forget, she must have,
Secretly swallowing poison, mistaking it for cure,
Forced to forget...
