mai wahi hu jo dekhte ho tum
wo nahi hu jo sochte ho tum
wo koi or hoga wo koi or hoga wo koi or hoga
mai wahi hu jo dekhte ho tum

na jane kitne chehre hai jahan me ek hi jaise
mujhe yu dekhte kya ho kabhi aise kabhi waise
ishare bhi yahi honge adaye bhi yahi hongi
jo bate mujhme hai pahle kahi dekhi hui hongi
wo koi or hoga wo koi or hoga wo koi or hoga
mai wahi hu jo dekhte ho tum
wo nahi hu jo sochte ho tum

naye is sahar me aaye ho shayad ajnabi ho tum
bahut ghabraye ghabraye ho shayad ajnabi ho tum
samjh me kuch nahi aata mujhe kya tumne samjha hai
aji hajrat sambhal jao ke ye najro ka dhokha hai
wo koi or hoga wo koi or hoga wo koi or hoga
mai wahi hu jo dekhte ho tum
wo nahi hu jo sochte ho tum

bhari mahfil me chhedoge to sau ilzam aayenge
tumhe diwane kahke log tum par muskurayenge
jara baitho jara dam lo phir uske baad pahchano
tumhe ek maswara de du agar mera kaha mano
wo koi or hoga wo koi or hoga wo koi or hoga
mai wahi hu jo dekhte ho tum
wo nahi hu jo sochte ho tum
wo koi or hoga wo koi or hoga wo koi or hoga
mai wahi hu jo dekhte ho tum
wo nahi hu jo sochte ho tum
wo koi or hoga ha ha or hoga hu hu or hoga

I am what you perceive, unveiled.
Not what you conjure, thoughts concealed.
That other, a shadow, a stranger to you.
I am what you perceive, true.

A thousand faces in this world we roam,
Look not so fixed, find a different home.
The gestures you see, the echoes you hear,
Familiar whispers, banishing fear.
That other, a shadow, a stranger to you.
I am what you perceive, true.
Not what you conjure, thoughts concealed.

New to this city, lost and unknown,
Anxiety grips you, a seed that is sown.
You grasp at shadows, what meaning you find?
Beware, dear traveler, the tricks of the mind.
That other, a shadow, a stranger to you.
I am what you perceive, true.
Not what you conjure, thoughts concealed.

In crowded halls, accusations ignite,
They’ll call you a madman, bathed in their light.
Just pause, take a breath, before you decide,
If you heed my counsel, let wisdom be your guide.
That other, a shadow, a stranger to you.
I am what you perceive, true.
Not what you conjure, thoughts concealed.
That other, a shadow, a stranger to you.
I am what you perceive, true.
Not what you conjure, thoughts concealed.
That other, a shadow, a stranger to you.
