Kisi Ki Aankh Ke Aansu

nazar ka dhoka hai tum, inako nazaare na kaho
ye muravvat hain jo milate hain, mohabbat to nahi
vo kisi aur ke hain, unako hamaare na kaho
nazar ka dhoka hai tum, inako nazaare na kaho
lagi jo theek hi maujon ki khel ? mein toot pade
ghanee(thami ?) ghani se ye toofaan hai, kinaare na kaho
nazar ka dhoka hai tum, inako nazaare na kaho
