aap agar aap na hote to bhala kya hote
aap agar aap na hote to bhala kya hote
log kahte hain ke patthar ke masiha hote
aap agar aap na hote to bhala kya hote
log kahte hain ke patthar ke masiha hote

sangemarmar ke tarashe huye chehre pe agar
sangemarmar ke tarashe huye chehre pe agar
aapke hansne ka adaaz yahi hota magar
wo jo sharma ke jhuka lete hain aap nazar
aise sharmane pe hum kaise na fida hote
aap agar aap na hote to bhala kya hote
log kahte hain ke patthar ke masiha hote

aapke maathe pe basti hain jawa shaam sehar
aapke maathe pe basti hain jawa shaam sehar
acchi lagti hain hume aapki peshani magar
wo jo maathe pe pasina ubhar aata hain kabhi
aise maathe pe na kyu log fida hote
aap agar aap na hote to bhala kya hote
log kahte hain ke patthar ke masiha hote
aap agar aap na hote to bhala kya hote
aap agar aap na hote

If not you, then what, I wonder,
If not you, then what would be?
Some would say a stone Messiah,
If not you, then what would be?
Some would say a stone Messiah.

On a face of marble, carved with care,
On a face of marble, smooth and fair,
If your laughter held the same air,
And if your eyes wouldn't shy away,
How could we not be captured by your grace?
If not you, then what would be?
Some would say a stone Messiah.

On your brow, where dawn and dusk reside,
On your brow, where youthful days abide,
We cherish your forehead, open wide,
And when the sweat would gently bead,
Upon that brow, why wouldn't hearts concede?
If not you, then what would be?
Some would say a stone Messiah.
If not you, then what, I wonder,
If not you...
