Kaise? tumhe keh dun...!

Kaise? tumhe keh dun, nahin chahta tumko

Ghum ko haan chupa dun, mausam ko sula dun

Kaise koi mein yun iqraar kar lun?

Kaise koi mein han inkaar kar dun?

Jo tum keh do, keh dun mein saari hi baatein

Kaise? tumhe keh dun, nahin chahta tumko...!

Kharaman kharaman chalan apna goya

Jo gul bhi yan roya tabbussum se roya

Tumhe dhoondti hain yeh kiski nigahein

Koi kyun hai jaaga? koi kyun na soya?

Jo tum keh do, keh dun mein saari hi baatein

Kaise? tumhe keh dun, nahin chahta tumko...!

Nakaamiyon ka yeh kaisa bahana

Jise pyaar karna usse bhool jaana

Nahin mujhse kehna ki taqdeer hai yeh

Muqaddar ko haathon se apne banana

Jo tum keh do, keh dun mein saari hi baatein

Kaise? tumhe keh dun, nahin chahta tumko...!

Agar tum kabhi humse iqraar kar lo

Lamha barabar hi haan pyaar karlo

Ehsaas tumko sanam tab yeh hoga

Aasaan nahin bas kaha pyaar karlo

Jo tum keh do, keh dun mein saari hi baatein

Kaise? tumhe keh dun, nahin chahta tumko...!

Sooni, tarasti, yeh mehfil yeh shaamein

Kyun aise judai mein hum geet gaayein

Chalo tum bhi humse haan izhaar kar do

Haan duniya ko lafze wafa hum sikhayein

Jo tum keh do, keh dun mein saari hi baatein

Kaise? tumhe keh dun, nahin chahta tumko...!
