kyun khoon baha kyun laal hua
is hariyaali dharti ka man
kya chhut gaya kya tut gaya
kyun laga pyar ko chand garhan
kyun khoon baha kyun laal hua
is hariyaali dharti ka man
kya chhut gaya kya tut gaya
kyun laga pyar ko chand garhan
chand garhan, chand garhan
chand garhan, chand garhan
hari om, hari om
hari om, hari om

hum inshaa tum bhi inshaan
kya baat kyun door huye
isne ye aag lagayi jo
hum milne ko majboor huye
tum kha lo ye hai kashmir ka gul
kyun soona hai mahka gulshan
kya chhut gaya kya tut gaya
kyun laga pyar ko chand garhan
chand garhan, chand garhan
chand garhan, chand garhan

wo sare apne bichhad gaye
is dil me saath jiye the jo
ab dil ke kaune kaune me
chunte hain beeti yaado ko
is bheege bheege mausam me
jalti hai ek khamosh agan
kya chhut gaya kya tut gaya
kyun laga pyar ko chand garhan
chand garhan, chand garhan
chand garhan, chand garhan

is wade me ek wade ka
ahsaas suhana tha jitna
is wade me ek wade ka
ahsaas suhana tha jitna
rishto ke dhage tute pe
ye dil rota hai ab kitna
besaai in sannato ke
de jaate hain bas ek chubhan
kya chhut gaya kya tut gaya
kyun laga pyar ko chand garhan
chand garhan, chand garhan
chand garhan, chand garhan

jo apna tha jo sapna tha
kyun aas tod ke chalaa gaya
jiske dam se ye saanse thi
kyun sath chhod ke chalaa gaya
dhalta suraj kal aayega
umeedo ki ek nai kiran
kya chhut gaya kya tut gaya
kyun laga pyar ko chand garhan
kyun khoon baha kyun laal hua
is hariyaali dharti ka man
kya chhut gaya kya tut gaya
kyun laga pyar ko chand garhan

Why did blood spill, why crimson stain,
The verdant heart of earth's domain?
What slipped away, what shattered then,
Why did love face a lunar den?
Why did blood spill, why crimson stain,
The verdant heart of earth's domain?
What slipped away, what shattered then,
Why did love face a lunar den?
Lunar den, lunar den,
Lunar den, lunar den,
Hari Om, Hari Om,
Hari Om, Hari Om.

We are souls, and souls are you,
What words, why distance grew?
This fire sparked, this blaze begun,
Forced our meeting, now undone.
Taste this rose of Kashmir's bloom,
Why silence haunts the floral room?
What slipped away, what shattered then,
Why did love face a lunar den?
Lunar den, lunar den,
Lunar den, lunar den.

Those dearest, gone, their forms now lost,
Whose lives within my heart were crossed.
In every corner of my soul,
Memories linger, take their toll.
In this dampened, weeping season,
Burns a silent, hidden treason.
What slipped away, what shattered then,
Why did love face a lunar den?
Lunar den, lunar den,
Lunar den, lunar den.

In that promise, once so bright,
A feeling of sweet, pure delight.
In that promise, once so bright,
A feeling of sweet, pure delight.
When ties of kin, like threads, did fray,
How deeply does my heart now pray!
These silences, so vast and deep,
Only wounds of sorrow keep.
What slipped away, what shattered then,
Why did love face a lunar den?
Lunar den, lunar den,
Lunar den, lunar den.

The cherished dream, the love we knew,
Why did hope's promise now subdue?
The breath of life, the guiding light,
Why did it vanish in the night?
Tomorrow's sun will softly gleam,
A future born of hope's bright beam.
What slipped away, what shattered then,
Why did love face a lunar den?
Why did blood spill, why crimson stain,
The verdant heart of earth's domain?
What slipped away, what shattered then,
Why did love face a lunar den?
