aankho me kyo nami hai
jindagi me kuch kami hai
aankho me kyo nami hai
jindagi me kuch kami hai
suni dil ki kyu ab to
ye jami hai
mere maula kyu bebas ab hami hai
aankho me kyu nami hai

dil me rah gayi sari khwahishe
sahra lage jaha
suku ab hamara kho gaya
naino se ho rahi
ashko ki barishe
chain ab hai kaha
juda sara aalam ho gaya
rashte kyu nahi hai
manjile na kahi hai
aankho me kyu nami hai

tut ke bikhri ab to har khushi
jeena lage saja
thukraya sabne kyu hame
dekhe the khwab jo
ujade hai aaj wo
apne hue khafa kaise batau mai tumhe
dhadkane kyu thami hai
kho gayi ab hasi hai
aankho me kyu nami hai
jindagi me kuch kami hai
suni dil ki ab to kyu
ye jami hai
mere maula kyu bebas ab hami hai
aankho me kyu nami hai

Why is there a dampness in the eyes?
A void, a lack in life’s disguise.
Why is there a dampness in the eyes?
A void, a lack in life's ties.
The heart, a hollow space, a sigh,
This earth, it feels so dry.
My Lord, why helpless, this decree?
Why is there a dampness in the eyes?

Desires, a path that fades away,
The world, a desert, bleak today.
Peace, our solace, lost and gone,
Tears, a storm that rages on.
Where is the solace, where the ease?
Why are there no roads to appease?
No destination, we can't see,
Why is there a dampness in the eyes?

Every joy, shattered, broken apart,
Living feels a painful art.
Why rejected, why the scorn?
Dreams we held, now tattered, torn.
Those we loved, now turn away,
How can I tell you what I pay?
Why do the heartbeats cease to be?
Why is there a dampness in the eyes?
A void, a lack in life's disguise.
The heart, a hollow space, a sigh,
This earth, it feels so dry.
My Lord, why helpless, this decree?
Why is there a dampness in the eyes?
