Roothe nahi hain hum tumse

kaise batayen ki tumhaare aansu ab hamare aankhon se behte hain,
lo aaj hum bhari mehfil me tumse apne dil ki baat kehte hain,

roothe nahi hain hum tumse, ye to bas tumhaari khwaish thi,
tumhaari di hui kasam ke kaaran hi hum tumse dur rehte hain,

dar tha tumhe ki kahin badnaam na ho jao tum hamare pyaar me,
tumhaare naam ko badnaam na karne ke liye hum dur rehte hain,

chahte ho ki hum aake tumhaare veeraane me shaama jala jaayen,
kahin mere chahat me tum jal na jao isliye hum dur rehte hain,

aaj kha rahe ho kasam na karoge tum koi galti fir kabhi,
par hum to tumhaari sab galtiyon ko nadaniyaan kehte hain,

tumhaari muskaan ke liye hi to hum tumse dur hain o jaana,
anjaam-e-mohabbat pata hai, tabhi hum tumse dur rehte hain....
