**********************************************************************
Kisko qaatil main kahoon, kisko massiha samajhoon,
Sab yahaan dost hi baithey hain, kisey kya samajhoon !

[Whom should I call murderer, whom should I think as my messiah,
Everybody sitting here is a friend, what should I think of them !]

Vo bhi kya din they ki, har vaham yakeen hota tha,
Ab haqeekat nazar aayee, to usey kya samajhoon !

[There were days when even every doubt seemed like trusting,
Now that I know the facts, what should I think of him !]

Dil jo toota to kayee haath dua ko uthey,
Aisey maahaul mein ab kisko paraayaa samajhoon !

[When my heart broke, so many hands went up in prayers,
In these circumstances, whom should I treat as stranger !]

Zulm yeh hai ke hai yaqtaa teri beganaaravii,
Lutf yeh hai ke main ab tak tujhey apna samajhoon !

[The trouble is that your indifference is rigid,
But the best part is that I still think you as mine !]

Kisko qaatil main kahoon, kisko massiha samajhoon,
Sab yahaan dost hi baithey hain, kisey kya samajhoon !
