INAAM Lyrics

Maaloom hai naa hum jaanein tumko tumse zyada
[You know, right, that I know you better than you know yourself]
Tumko mila hai woh saalon se jo bhi hai maanga
[You have received whatever you have asked for over the years]
Kaise khilaunon ki ro-roke karte the maangen
[How you used to cry and demand toys]
Ik baar mil jaaye, do din mein hi bhool jaate
[Once you got them, you would forget them within two days]
Lekin khilaunon ke dil to hote hi nahi the
[But toys didn't even have hearts]
Dil to humara hai, jaane galat kya, sahi yeh
[But I have a heart, who knows what is wrong or right]
Kitna they chahte par ab tumko yaad naa aate hum
[I wanted you so much, but now you don't even remember me]

Kya yaad tumko tum humko inaam the kehte?
[Do you remember you used to call me a prize?]
Karte thay kitna kuchh paane ki chaah mein pehle
[You used to do so much in the desire to get me before]
Ab yeh inaam ka tum pe ilzaam hai, jaanaan
[Now this prize has an accusation against you, my love]
Dil hai gawah, jeete jabse ho, tumko hai haara
[My heart is witness, ever since you won me, I have lost you]
Cheezein badalti hain, itna to humne bhi maana
[Things change, I have accepted this much]
Itna badal jaaoge, jaana kisne tha, jaanaan?
[But that you would change this much, who knew, my love?]
Jo tha parvaana, ab usko humari parvah naa, kyun?
[The one who was a lover, now doesn't care about me, why?]

Dil mein baat kya hai? Haan, bolo humse
[What is in your heart? Yes, tell me]
Chahta aur kya hai? Haan, bolo humse
[What else do you want? Yes, tell me]
Kya kami yahaan hai? Haan, bolo humse na
[What is lacking here? Yes, tell me]
Jo kaha, mila hai, haan, bolo humse
[Whatever you said, you got, yes, tell me]
Badle mein bhala hai, haan, bolo humse
[Is there any good in return? Yes, tell me]
Maanga tumse kya hai? Hai maanga zara sa hi
[What have I asked from you? I asked for just a little bit]
Kya hi? Kya? Haaye
[What exactly? What? Oh my]

Bas jo khat likhe thay tumne, unhe padh bhi lo zara
[Just read the letters you wrote once]
Vaade kiye the jo bhi, nibhaao naa aise kabhi
[Whatever promises you made, fulfill them sometime]
In vaadon ki siyaahi abhi sookhi hi kahaan
[The ink of these promises hasn't even dried yet]
Hai tumhari hi likhaayi, ya bhoole ho yeh bhi?
[It is your handwriting, or have you forgotten this too?]

Kehne ko "Waah-waah, tum phir se inaam ho jeete"
[Just to say "Bravo, you have won the prize again"]
Chehre pe muskaan par aankhein hain khush naa kahin se
[There is a smile on the face, but the eyes aren't happy at all]
Humne kaha tha, "Hum jaanein tumko tumse zyada"
[I had said, "I know you better than you know yourself"]
Shayad galat thay par itna to humne hai jaana
[Maybe I was wrong, but I have learned this much]
Har wo inaam qadar ke bina hi hai waise
[Every prize is worthless without appreciation]
Ghar pe padi dhool khate khilaunon ke jaise
[Like toys lying at home gathering dust]
Pal bhar behlaaen par dil ko khush naa kar paayen yoon
[They amuse for a moment but can't make the heart happy like this]

Ghar baithe likhta tha dil ki kahaani meri
[Sitting at home, I used to write the story of my heart]
Chaaron taraf thi deewarein, deewanon se hi
[There were walls all around, filled with madness]
Kehta tha, "Ik din jahaan hoga haathon mein, haan"
[I used to say, "One day the world will be in my hands, yes"]
Jo tha gumnaamon mein, ab ho inaamon pe bhi
[The one who was anonymous, is now among the prizes too]
Qaidi hai, qaid hi hai phir bhi deewaron mein hi
[He is a prisoner, still imprisoned within these walls]
Naamumkin khwaabon mein naakhush udaanein meri, ah, ah
[In impossible dreams, my flights are unhappy, ah, ah]
