Gham behisaab the, alag hi wafa ke zaabte
Alag hi hain agar manzilen toh kyun na alag hi rakhein hum raaste
Kyun na aaj se mita dein yeh qismat hum haath se
Aur zehan aazaad ho yaad se, hum mit jaayein, ja milein khaak se
Tere sheher bhi aaye, par safar se khatam na hue yeh faasle
Zakham bharein na, bade bereham se pesh aaye hain haadse
Baat se baat nikaali ke tere dil pe lag jaaye meri baat koi
Tu toot'te taaron pe maange mujhe, tujhe mayassar ho aisi raat koi
I've been working a lot
Likha nahi chhodta, likhna hi tod hai
Bikte hain yeh gaane laakhon mein, kya yeh sab paise ka shor hai?
Kal saath na honge, par yaad toh hogi, aur bolo na zindagi kya hai?
Yaadon ki maala hai, yaadon ke ilava kabhi kuch baaqi raha hai?
Kisi ne kya khoob kaha hai, tere darmiyaan bas tu hi khada hai
Jhukaav zaroori hai, usse zaahir hota hai ke tu hi bada hai
Jisay gaye hue khud se zamaana hua wo tummein bhatkta hai
Main khud nahi hoon, yeh koi aur hai mujhmein jo tumko tarasta hai
Wajood ek tamasha tha, hum jo dekhte the wo bhi ek tamasha hai
Hai mere dil ki guzaarish ke mujhe mat chhodo, yeh jaan ka taqaza hai
Hum zindagi dhundhte-dhundhte maut ke munh mein hi jaate rahe
Par hum thehre kalaakaar, khoj mein bhi gun-gunaaate rahe
Aao na, ke tum hi toh ho jeene ki wajah
Ki baithe-baithe kar hi di subah
Na tu aaya, na hi tera hai pata, hmm
Sahiba, main lene aaya hoon teri khabar
Tu dekh le jo ab meri taraf
Toh ho khatam meri bhi yeh saza, hmm
Tum meri yaadon mein saath ho, tum jaake bhi mere paas ho
Tumhaare hi dam se zinda, mar gaya jo tumse fursat ho
Tum meri kitaabon ki tarah ho, tum saamne ho lekin band ho
Yeh dil kyun iraadon ke jaisa nahi? Ke toote nahi abhi tak woh
Maine jo chaaha woh paaya hai, hunar se ghar bhi chalaaya hai
Umar se faraq nahi padta, bada woh hai jisne ban ke dikhaaya hai
"Music haraam," woh bole, phir mere upar kis khuda ka saaya hai?
Ghadi naaraaz woh khadi naaraaz ki music pe kyun itna time lagaya hai
Khwab toh khwab hain, unka poora hona koi zaroori toh nahi hai
Khwaahish toh khwaahish hai, aakhir zindagi bhi koi majboori toh nahi hai
Mujhe gham de, sog de, le ja yeh dil, beshak isey tod de
Woh mohabbat hi kya jo tum chhod aaye, woh mohabbat toh nahi agar chhod gaye
Tum hi guroor thi, tum mein hi noor tha
Tum bhi bezaar thi, main bhi majboor tha
Yeh bhi ek daur hai, woh bhi ek daur tha
Yeh teri khaamoshi toh kya woh shor tha?
Jisay tu mili woh koi aur tha
Par apna milna bhi ab mojiza
Main toh gaanon mein zindagi gaata hoon
Kya pata tumhein pasand ho kaun sa?
Aao na, ke tum hi toh ho jeene ki wajah
Ki baithe-baithe kar hi di subah
Na tu aaya, na hi tera hai pata, hmm
Sahiba, main lene aaya hoon teri khabar
Tu dekh le jo ab meri taraf
Toh ho khatam meri bhi yeh saza, hmm
