meri nigah ne kya kam lajavab kiya
ki tujhako lakho haseno me intakhab kiya

jhuthe zamane bhar ke
hay jadu kaisa daar gaye mope nichi nazar kar ke
jite hai mar-mar ke
hay aise do na hame gori tukde jigar kar ke
jhuthe zamane bhar ke

mai bekrar nahi pyar ki nazar ke lie
ki tere tir bahut hai mere jigar ke lie
yahan bhi dard-e-jigar ka ilaaj kaun kare
bas ek nazar teri kafi hai umr bhar ke lie
jhuthe zamane bhar
hay jadu kaisa dar gaye mope nichi nazar kar ke
jite hai mar-mar ke
hay aise do na hame gori tukade jigar kar ke
jhuthe zamane bhar ke

jab se tune mere dil ka chaman aabad kiya
jab chali thadi hava maine tujhe yaad kiya
ham to kahte hi nahi kuchh magar ai jan-e-jahan
log kahte hai ki tune hame barbad kiya
jhuthe zamane bhar
hay jadu kaisa daar gaye mope nichi nazar kar ke
jite hai mar-mar ke
hay aise do na hame gori tukde jigar kar ke
jhuthe zamane bhar ke

yaqin hamko na ulfat ka tum dilaao zara
ab aise dekh ke hamko na muskurao zara
chalo nahi hai tumhe hamse vasta na sahi
dhadakte dil ko sambhalo nazar uthao zara
jhuthe zamane bhar ke
hay jadu kaisa daar gaye mope nichi nazar kar ke
jite hai mar-mar ke
hay aise do na hame gori tukade jigar kar ke
jhuthe zamane bhar ke

My gaze, a masterpiece unveiled,
In a million souls, your presence hailed.

This world, a tapestry of lies,
A spell you cast with lowered eyes.
We live, yet death's embrace we find,
To tear our hearts, a cruel design.
This world, a tapestry of lies.

My soul seeks not love's shallow gleam,
For your sharp arrows pierce my dream.
Who here can mend this aching breast?
One glance from you, a life's bequest.
This world, a tapestry of lies,
A spell you cast with lowered eyes.
We live, yet death's embrace we find,
To tear our hearts, a cruel design.
This world, a tapestry of lies.

Since you've graced my heart's domain,
Cool breezes whisper your sweet name.
Though silent, I hold you near,
Yet they say you brought ruin here.
This world, a tapestry of lies,
A spell you cast with lowered eyes.
We live, yet death's embrace we find,
To tear our hearts, a cruel design.
This world, a tapestry of lies.

Do not deny love's gentle art,
Do not smile and break my heart.
If no bond binds, if paths diverge,
Then lift your gaze, and calm the urge
This world, a tapestry of lies,
A spell you cast with lowered eyes.
We live, yet death's embrace we find,
To tear our hearts, a cruel design.
This world, a tapestry of lies.
