wo hamare zindaagi se khel rahe hain

hame lagta hai wo hamari zindaagi se khel rahe hain,
hame lagta hai wo hamara aman-chain sab loot rahe hain,

hamne unse mohabbat ki thi zindaagi ko sakoon dilane ke liye,
hame lagta hain wo hamare jalte ghaawo ko aur aag de rahe hain,

dard dil mein chhupaye anshuo se apni chaader bhigoye,
raat raat bhar gum se karaahte baichainiyo ke kaante samet rahe hain,

hame lagta hain wo hamare dil se khel rahe hain,
hamari sachi mohabbat ko unhone khilona bana diya,

jab bhi jee chaha hamse muh mord liya,
kabi na samjha hamare chehare pe faili udaasi ko,

kabhi naa samjha hamare judaai mein doobe aankho ko,
din-rat dardapte rahe khamosh mohobbat nibhaate rahe,

kabhi naa samjha unhone hamare har pal swaaha hote armaano ko,
ab hame lagta hai wo hamare zindaagi se khel rahe hain,
hame lagta hain ab ham iss gam me doob rahe hain
