rahi hai daad talab unaki shokhiyaa hamase
rahi hai daad talab unaki shokhiyaa hamase
adaa shanaas to bahut hai magar kahaan hamase
adaa shanaas to bahut hai magar kahaan hamase

sunaa diye the kabhi kuchh galat-salat kisse
sunaa diye the kabhi kuchh galat-salat kisse
vo aaj tak hai usi tarah badagumaa hamase
vo aaj tak hai usi tarah badagumaa hamase

ye kuj kyun naa ziaarat gahe muhabbat ho
ye kuj kyun naa ziaarat gahe muhabbat ho
mile the vo inhi pedo ke darmiyaa hamase
mile the vo inhi pedo ke darmiyaa hamase

ham hi ko zoq-e-nazaaraa nahi rahaa varanaa
ham hi ko zoq-e-nazaaraa nahi rahaa varanaa
ishaare aaj bhi karati hai khidakiyaa hamase
ishaare aaj bhi karati hai khidakiyaa hamase

har ek raat nashe me tere badan kaa khayaal
har ek raat nashe me tere badan kaa khayaal
naa jaane tut gai kai suraahiyaa hamase
naa jaane tut gai kai suraahiyaa hamase
rahi hai daad talab unaki shokhiyaa hamase
adaa shanaas to bahut hai magar kahaan hamase

Their coquetry still seeks applause from me,
Their coquetry still seeks applause from me.
Appreciators abound, but where, like me,
Appreciators abound, but where, like me?

I once spun tales, a tapestry of lies,
I once spun tales, a tapestry of lies,
And still, they harbor doubt behind their eyes,
And still, they harbor doubt behind their eyes.

Why not this bower, a pilgrimage to love?
Why not this bower, a pilgrimage to love?
Beneath these trees, our spirits did move,
Beneath these trees, our spirits did move.

The hunger for the sight has left my soul,
The hunger for the sight has left my soul,
Or still, the windows would their tales unroll,
Or still, the windows would their tales unroll.

Each night, drunk on thought of your form so fair,
Each night, drunk on thought of your form so fair,
How many jugs shattered beyond compare,
How many jugs shattered beyond compare.
Their coquetry still seeks applause from me,
Their coquetry still seeks applause from me.
Appreciators abound, but where, like me,
Appreciators abound, but where, like me?
