aap chehre pe chada lijiye lakho chehre
asli chehre ko chupana to bahut muskil hai
badaliya dhanp to sakti hai chand suraj ko
unki kirno ko dabana to bahut mushkil hai

najar hai badli badli si ada hai jaani pahchani
najar hai badli badli si ada hai jaani pahchani
tujhe hum maan gaye maan gaye maan gaye jaani
najar hai badli badli si ada hai jaani pahchani
kabhi anjaani surat bhi hame lagti hai pahchani
kabhi anjaani surat bhi hame lagti hai pahchani
magar ye wo nahi wo nahi wo nahi rani
najar hai badli badli si ada hai jaani pahchani

hum jami pe rahke sitaro ki khabar rakhte hai
jism hai shishe ka
pathar ka jigar rakhte hai dhokha kha jaye
najar apni ye mumkin hi nahi
tadpne wale kayamat ki najar rakhte hai
ke sach par jhuth ka parda girana to hai nadani
ke sach par jhuth ka parda girana to hai nadani
tujhe hum maan gaye maan gaye
maan gaye jaani kabhi anjaani surat bhi
hame lagti hai pahchani

aapka andaza maana ke bahut acha hai
aapne aankho ko aayina bana rakha hai
par jo dharti se gagan milta najar aata hai
wo najar ka nahi dhokha to fir kya hai
khuda jane tumhe kis baat par hai itni hairani
khuda jane tumhe kis baat par hai itni hairani
magar ye wo nahi wo nahi wo nahi rani
najar hai badli badli si ada hai jaani pahchani

yaki na aayega hamko kabhi aisi dalilo se
to jakar mashwara kar lijiye apne wakilo se
jarurat kya bhala hamko kisi se mashware ki hai
to fir maan lo chup chap ke ye or koi hai
magar ye jhuth hai sada to fir layo sabut iska
wahi ye nak naksha hai khuda ne sabko baksha
hai kamar bhi patli hai waisi milegi lakho ki aisi
lachakti chal me masti jawani me rahe sabki
hame nadan samjhte ho aji kyu gussa karte hai
ye parda chak kar denge irada khak kar denge
ye parda chak kar denge irada khak kar denge
humse jo jeet sake
aisa jamaane me nahi haar ka jikar kahi
apne fasane me nahi kaha ab kuch to
pachtana padega tujhko diwani kaha ab kuch to
pachtana padega tujhko diwani
magar ye wo nahi wo nahi wo nahi rani
kabhi anjaani surat bhi hame lagti hai pahchani

Though masks you don, a thousand faces worn,
To hide the true, a struggle deeply born.
Clouds may obscure the moon, the sun's bright gleam,
To quell their light, a task beyond a dream.

Eyes that shift, a known, familiar grace,
Eyes that shift, a known, familiar face,
We concede, we yield, we understand, embrace,
Eyes that shift, a known, familiar space.
A stranger's guise, yet echoes of the past,
A stranger's guise, a memory that's cast,
But this is not she, this truth cannot be masked,
A stranger's guise, a shadow unsurpassed.

We on earth, the stars' secrets we embrace,
Bodies of glass, hearts of stone we trace.
This sight cannot be tricked, our vision clear,
The tormented, the judgment, ever near.
To veil the truth in falsehood, foolish, bare,
To veil the truth in falsehood, is despair.
We concede, we yield, we understand, prepare,
A stranger's guise, a ghost beyond compare.

Your art is famed, your skill a crafted prize,
You've made of eyes a mirror to surprise.
But where the earth and heavens interweave,
That vision is not truth, what do you believe?
God knows the cause of all this strange dismay,
God knows the cause of all that holds your sway,
But this is not she, this shadow of the day,
Eyes that shift, a known, familiar way.

No faith in words, in arguments you find,
Seek counsel then, from those of legal mind.
Why seek advice, when all is plain to see?
Then silently accept, it's not the she.
But if this lie endures, then bring your proof,
The face, the form, God's gifts, a common roof,
The slender waist, a million more to woo,
The swaying gait, the youthfulness anew.
If fools we seem, why anger in your breast?
We'll rend the veil, and cast your goals to rest,
We'll rend the veil, and cast your goals to test,
Who can defeat us, in this world's unrest?
No mention of defeat, in all our lore,
No mention of defeat, at heaven's door.
Speak now, or rue the words that you impart,
Speak now, or rue the choices of your heart,
But this is not she, this world falling apart,
Eyes that shift, a known, familiar start.
