Chaahat ko dosti samajhte rahe

zindagi ki jo haqeeqat thi,
hum use khwaab samajhte rahe,
aur unhi khwaabon ke tutneka,
hum afsos hamesha karte rahe,

zindagi bahut kareeb thi hamaare,
aur hum usi se dur bhaagte rahe,
ye soch ki koi aur khwaab na tute,
hum raaton ko tanha jaagte rahe,

paake kisi ki chaahat ko paa na sake hum,
uski iqraar ko hum inkaar samajhte rahe,
koshsish to ki usne kai baar bataane ki,
par hum uski chahat ko dosti samajhte rahe...
