mujhe jindagi mein ek dost chahiye devata nahi
mujhe pyar kisi ko karna hai lekin pujna nahi
dost jisne mujhse mohabbat ki aasha kahi ho
jo mujhse kabhi na punchhe tum aakhir kyun aisi ho
mujhe jindagi mein ek dost chahiye devata nahi

jo mane mujhko jine ka is duniyan mein kuchh
banne ka uski hi tarah adhikaar hai
jo mane jisme chhupi hui koi kaid na ho
janjir na ho sachha bas vo hi pyar hai
sachha bas vo hi pyar hai
jo meri manjilo ka roke rasta nahi
mujhe jindagi mein ek dost chahiye devata nahi

jo ye na kahe tumhe pyar hai to
tum khud mat socho meri suno
aur man jo main kahata hun
jo ye na kahe main uske liye itni badalun
aise badlun ki khud ko na main pahchan sakun
ki khud ko na main pahchan sakun
bate aise vo jo kahe mujhko vo janata nahi
mujhe pyar kisi ko karna hai lekin pujna nahi
dost jisne mujhse mohabbat ki aasha kahi ho
jo mujhse kabhi na punchhe tum aakhir kyun aisi ho

A friend in life, not a god I crave,
Love, a bond, but not a shrine to pave.
A friend who hopes my heart to claim,
Who asks me not, "Why are you this way?"
A friend in life, not a god I crave.

Who sees my right to breathe, to be,
To shape myself, authentically free,
Who knows my soul, no chains to bind,
A love unchained, the truth to find.
The truth to find, a love so true,
Who blocks not paths I must pursue.
A friend in life, not a god I crave.

Who wouldn't say, "Because you love,
You must not think, but from me move,"
And trust my words, embrace my plea,
Who wouldn't ask me to change to be,
To change so much, I can't see me,
I can't see me, a stranger now.
Speaks words he knows not how to sow.
A friend in life, not a god I crave.
A friend who hopes my heart to claim,
Who asks me not, "Why are you this way?"
