Waqt ne shor machaya, maine samjha hi nahi, x2
Jaanib-e-ishq bulaaya, maine samjha hi nahi.
Dil ki gehrai se har raaz ko zahir wo kiye, x2
Mujh se kyu kuch na chhupaya, maine samjha hi nahi.
Raat kab khatm hui, baat wo karte hi rahe, x2
Khushnuma lamha bitaya, maine samjha hi nahi.
Khoob mashgool raha, naam aur daulat ki taraf, x2
Peechhe kuch chhod bhi aaya, maine samjha hi nahi.
Ay khuda kya na diya, kuch to sakoon-e-dil bhi de, x2
Ek jug kaise bitaya, maine samjha hi nahi.
Closing line:
Waqt ne shor machaya, maine samjha hi nahi.
