aankh se aankh mila baat banata kyu hai
aankh se aankh mila baat banata kyu hai
tu agar mujhse khafa hai to chhupaata kyu hai
aankh se aankh mila baat banata kyu hai

gair lagta hai na apno ki tarah milta hai
gair lagta hai na apno ki tarah milta hai
gair lagta hai na apno ki tarah milta hai
tu zamane ki tarah mujh ko satata kyu hai

waqt ke sath khayalaat badal jaate hain
waqt ke sath khayalaat badal jaate hain
waqt ke sath khayalaat badal jaate hain
ye hakikat hai magar mujhko sunata kyu hai

ek mohtaaz se jahan kafile ghuzre hi nahi
ek mohtaaz se jahan kafile ghuzre hi nahi
ek mohtaaz se jahan ka file ghuzre hi nahi
aisi raaho pe charago ko jalata kyun hai
tu agar mujh se khafa hai to chhupata kyun hai
aankh se aankh mila baat banata kyun hain

Why, with eyes entwined, does your tongue weave speech?
Why, with eyes entwined, does your tongue weave speech?
If anger burns, why hide it from my reach?
Why, with eyes entwined, does your tongue weave speech?

Like a stranger, yet not one of kin,
Like a stranger, your touch, where do I begin?
Like a stranger, your touch, where do I begin?
Why, like the world, do you inflict such sin?

With time, thoughts shift, and shadows grow,
With time, thoughts shift, and shadows flow,
With time, thoughts shift, and shadows flow,
Though truth it be, why must you let me know?

On paths untouched, where no caravan's tread,
On paths untouched, where no caravan's tread,
On paths untouched, where no caravan's tread,
Why light the lamps where all hope is dead?
If anger burns, why hide it from my reach?
Why, with eyes entwined, does your tongue weave speech?
