khud se bhi jaada mujhe us se pyaar hai

main kehta hoon yeh meri mohabbat hai,
naa chhupa saku pyaar ab yeh meri halat hai,

aur kuch nahi zindagi ka yeh sawal hai,
khud se bhi jaada mujhe us se pyaar hai.

aata nahi mujhe ek pal bhi karaar,
ab main kya karu dil ka aisa haal hai,

aati hai uski yaad jo ki jaati nahi,
aati hai khawabon mein magar
haqikat mein aati nahi,

aur kuch nahi zindagi ka yeh sawal hai,
khud se bhi jaada mujhe us se pyaar hai.

leta hoon har pal ab main uska hi sirf naam,
intezar karte-kerte nikal naa jaaye ab yeh jaan,

hir kyu door hai mujhse.. mere pas kyu aati nahi?
aakar baahon mein mere, toot kar kyu mujhko chahati nahi?

aur kuch nahi zindagi ka yeh sawal hai,
khud se bhi jaada mujhe us se pyaar hai.

aakar mere kareeb woh chup rehti hai kyu,
chhupa kar apne pyaar ko ghut-ghut ke jeeti hai kyu?

woh apne pyaar ko mujh pe kyu lutati nahi,
apni aankhon mein mujh ko kyu basati nahi?

aur kuch nahi zindagi ka yeh sawal hai,
khud se bhi jaada mujhe us se pyaar hai.
