kyun raato ko mai ab chain se so na saku
kyun aata nahi mujhe din me bhi chain o suku
kyun aisa hota hai mai khud se hi baate karu
kyun tu jo bole koi sune na wo mai hi sunu
dil ye bekarar kyun hai, iss pe dhun sawar kyu hai
kyun hai ye khumar kyu hai, tu bata
tera intezar kyu hai, tujhpe aitbaar kyu hai
kyu hai ye khumar kyu hai, tu bata
tu bata, tu bata

kyun tujhe dekhe bina aata nahi dil ko sabar
kyu tere chehre se hatt ti nahi ye nazar
kyu tujhe paake mujhe rehta hai khone ka darr
kyun tere siva sari duniya se hu mai bekhabar
dil ye bekarar kyun hai, iss pe dhun sawar kyu
kyu hai ye khumar kyu hai, tu bata
tera intezar kyu hai, tujhpe aitbaar kyu hai
kyu hai ye khumar kyu hai, tu bata
tu bata, tu bata

ye pyaar hai jo tujhe ho gaya hai
naa jaane kyun tu iss se tha bekhabar
jo aaj kal yeh tujhe ho raha hai
nahi aur kuch, pyar ka hai asar
kyun tere jalwo ka chatt ta nahi hai dhuaa
kyu chale hawa toh lage ki jaise tune chhua
kyu maangta hai dil tere liye roz duaa
kyu ho raha jo pehle mujhe naa hua
dil ye bekarar kyun hai, iss pe dhun sawar kyun hai
kyu hai ye khumar kyun hai, tu bata
tera intezar kyun hai, tujhpe aitbar kyun hai
kyun hai ye khumar kyun hai, tu bata
tu bata, tu bata

Why can I no longer find peace in the night's embrace,
Why do I lack solace even in the sunlit space?
Why do I converse with my own shadowed self,
Why do your words echo only to me, on every shelf?
Why this unrest in the heart's deep core, this melody's hold?
Why this intoxication, this story untold?
Why do I await you, why trust in your sway?
Why this intoxication, tell me, I pray?
Tell me, oh tell me, pray!

Why does the heart find no patience without your sight,
Why does my gaze cling to your visage, burning bright?
Why, even in holding you, I fear the impending night,
Why am I oblivious to the world, in your light?
Why this unrest in the heart's deep core, this melody's hold?
Why this intoxication, this story untold?
Why do I await you, why trust in your sway?
Why this intoxication, tell me, I pray?
Tell me, oh tell me, pray!

This, my beloved, is love's burgeoning flame,
Unbeknownst, you were unaware of this game.
What now consumes you, this consuming fire,
Is nothing but love’s burning desire.
Why does the smoke of your radiance never cease,
Why does the wind feel like your gentle release?
Why does the heart offer you a daily plea,
Why am I experiencing what was not meant to be?
Why this unrest in the heart's deep core, this melody's hold?
Why this intoxication, this story untold?
Why do I await you, why trust in your sway?
Why this intoxication, tell me, I pray?
Tell me, oh tell me, pray!
