aankhon mein kyun nami hai
jindagi mein kuchh kami hai
aankhon mein kyun nami hai
jindagi mein kuchh kami hai
sune dil ki kyun ab to ye jameen hai
mere maula kyun bebas ab hami hai
aankhon mein kyun nami hai

dil mein reh gayi saari khwaaishein
sehra lage jahaan sukun ab hamaara kho gaya
nainon se ho rahi ashkon ki baarishein
chain ab hai kaha, juda saara aalam ho gaya
raaste kyun nahi hai, manjilein na kahin hai
aankhon mein kyun nami hai

tutke bikhari ab to har khushi, jina lage saja
thukaraaya sabne kyu hamein
dekhe the khwaab jo ujde hai aaj wo
apne hue khafa kaise bataau main tumhe
dhadkane kyun thami hai, kho gayi ab hansi hai
aankhon mein kyun nami hai
jindagi mein kuchh kami hai
sune dil ki kyun ab to ye jameen hai
mere maula kyun bebas ab hami hai
aankhon mein kyun nami hai

Why the mist in the eyes,
Is life wanting, a lack it implies?
Why the mist in the eyes,
Is life wanting, a lack it implies?
Why this barren land within the heart's skies?
My Lord, why so helpless now, we surmise?
Why the mist in the eyes?

All desires trapped, a silent plea,
Deserts bloom where solace used to reside,
Tears cascade, a weeping sea,
Where is peace now, with the world cast aside?
Why are there no paths, no goals in sight?
Why the mist in the eyes?

Shattered and scattered, every joy now sighs,
Living feels like a punishment, a painful guise,
Why have they shunned us, beneath darkened skies?
The dreams we held, now fading, their light dies,
How can I tell you, how loved ones now despise?
Why have hearts grown weary, laughter now denies?
Why the mist in the eyes,
Is life wanting, a lack it implies?
Why this barren land within the heart's skies?
My Lord, why so helpless now, we surmise?
Why the mist in the eyes?
