baat niklegi to, dur talak jayegi
log bekas udasi, ka sabab puchhenge
ye bhi puchhenge
ke tum itne preshan kyu ho
ungliyaan uthengi sote huye, balam ki taraf
ek najar dekhengi gujre huye, salam ki taraf
chudiyo par bhi kai, tanj kiye jayenge
kaanpte hatho se bhi, tukde kase jayenge

log zalim hai, har ek baat ka tana denge
baato baato me, mera jikar bhi le aayenge
baato baato me, mera jikar bhi le aayenge
unki baato ka, jara sa bhi asar mat lena
warna chehre ke tabasum, se samajh jayenge
chahe kuch bhi ho, swalat na karna munh se
chahe kuch bhi ho, swalat na karna munh se
mere bare me koi, baat na karna kisi se
baat niklegi to, dur talak jayegi

A whisper escapes, a journey begins,
And the world, in its grief, will demand to know the cause.
They'll ask, "Why the sorrow etched deep in your gaze?"
Fingers will point, accusing the sleeping Beloved.
Eyes will turn, tracing the ghosts of the years gone by.
Bracelets, once joyful, now targets of scorn,
And trembling hands will be mocked and ridiculed.

The cruel ones will weave their barbs with cruel ease,
And in their words, my name will find its way.
In their words, my name will find its way.
Let their words fall on deaf ears, untouched.
Else, the smile that graces your face will betray you.
No matter the ache, keep your questions locked in.
No matter the ache, keep your questions locked in.
Speak not of me, not a syllable to anyone.
A whisper escapes, a journey begins.
