Hum khudko hi bhulaaye baithey hain

woh takiye ko apne seeney se lagaaye baithey hain
raaz koi apni aankhon mein chhipaaye baithey hain

geeley honth unke kehne ko kuch paagal se ho rahe
naa bol de kuch dil ko yeh samjhaaye baithey hain

poochh to lenge unse jaake ki baat kyaa hai, magar
jhooti kahaani koi ab bhi woh banaaye baithey hain

hum poochhte hain jab bhi, hain bas taal dete woh
jaante hain hum ki woh dil ko lagaaye baithe hain

kahaan qaaboo rahaa is dil pe unko dekhne ke baad
hum dil apnaa unke ishq mein gawaaye baithey hain

hum bhi jaante nahi hain, ki poore honge yaa nahi
khwaabon ko hum aankhon mein sajaaye baithey hain

likh bhi lete they hum pehle kuch naa kuch zaroor
ab kalam ko hum kaagaz se hi lagaaye baithey hain

jagne lage hain kuch armaan, yun dil mein hamaare
aisaa lagtaa hai hum khudko bhulaaye baithey hain
