maiñ ḳhayāl huuñ kisī aur kā mujhe sochtā koī aur hai
sar-e-ā.īna mirā aks hai pas-e-ā.īna koī aur hai
I am someone else's thought, someone else brings me to mind
my image in the mirror wrought, someone else is there behind
main KHayal hun kisi aur ka mujhe sochta koi aur hai
sar-e-aina mera aks hai pas-e-aina koi aur hai
I am someone else's thought, someone else brings me to mind
my image in the mirror wrought, someone else is there behind
