Lahore

Lahore ka sheher, lekin yeh sab kuch fake hai,
Chehre par muskurahat, dil mein jo dard ka lake hai.
Har shakhs ne apna mask pehna, sab ne dikhawa kiya,
No one keeps it real, they all fake it, no one ever stays true, yahaan sabne apna jhooth chhupaaya hai.
Lost my trust, lost my friends, sab chhup gaye,
Everyone’s pretending, nobody’s real these days.
Dil mein jo dard tha, sab ne usko maar diya,
Fake promises, sab ne apne sapne bech diye, yeh sach har dil mein chhupaaya hai.
Fake dosti ka khel, yeh sab kuch mazaak hai,
They talk about loyalty, but they don't know the meaning of that.
Dil ke andar khali hai, sab kuch bekaar hai,
Tried to stay real, but they tore my soul apart, yeh duniya kaise samjhaye?
Chhup ke chal raha hoon, apne dard ko chhupaya hai,
I thought they were with me, but all of them just lied, sab ne apne sach ko chhupaya hai.
The world’s full of masks, no one’s showing the truth,
Yeh dosti ke rang, sab ki chaal hai ek khauf ka rooth.
People fake it till they make it, phir sab kuch khatam hai,
Every smile, every gesture, is just a trick they play.
Losing everyone, I thought they’d never leave,
But every step I take, I find it hard to believe.
Logon ne apne sach ko becha, apne sapne gavaa diye,
Fake duniya, fake logon se khud ko chhupa liye.
I’ve been losing myself, yeh sheher bhi khoya hai,
Sabit karna tha apne aap ko, lekin sab ne mujhe khona hai.
Apne sapne, apni zindagi ko, sab ne bas tod diya,
Duniya ke saath, apna rishta khatam kar diya.
Fake smiles, fake love, sab kuch fake tha,
Duniya ko samajh, sab kuch hai sirf ek game ka tha.
Now I'm walking alone, na koi sath hai,
Sab ki yeh chehre pehene wali baatein, just a laugh.
Mujhe khud pe yakeen tha, lekin sab ne use tod diya,
Fake dosti ki duniya mein, apne sapne chhupaye liye.
Mujhe yaad hai unhe, sab keh rahe the they’ll never change,
Lekin jise mein apna samajhta tha, wo sab fake tha, unka game.
I’m losing everyone, ek kaamyaabi ke liye,
But no one told me, real friends are the hardest to see.
