ek wada hai kisi ka jo wafa hota nahi
ek wada hai kisi ka jo wafa hota nahi
warna in taaro bhari raato me kya hota nahi
ek wada hai kisi ka jo wafa hota nahi

ji me aata hai ulat de unke chehare se naqab
ji me aata hai ulat de unke chehare se naqab
hausala karte hai lekin hausala hota nahi
warna in taaro bhari raato me kya hota nahi
ek wada hai kisi ka jo wafa hota nahi

shama jiski aabaru par jaan de de jhum kar
shama jiski aabaru par jaan de de jhum kar
wo patanga jal to jata hai fana hota nahi
warna in taaro bhari raato me kya hota nahi
ek wada hai kisi ka jo wafa hota nahi

ek muddat se rah-o-rasme nazara band hai
ek muddat se rah-o-rasme nazara band hai
ab to unka tur par bhi samana hota nahi
warna in taaro bhari raato me kya hota nahi
ek wada hai kisi ka jo wafa hota nahi

A promise whispered, fidelity's ghost,
A promise whispered, never truly bestowed.
Else, in these star-dusted nights, what wouldn't bloom?
A promise whispered, fidelity's ghost.

My heart yearns to unveil the mask they wear,
My heart yearns to unveil, to truly see.
Courage I gather, yet courage won't dare,
Else, in these star-dusted nights, what wouldn't be?
A promise whispered, fidelity's ghost.

The moth, for the flame, its honor's embrace,
The moth, for the flame, its life it would lend,
Burns bright in the moment, yet finds no release,
Else, in these star-dusted nights, what wouldn't extend?
A promise whispered, fidelity's ghost.

For ages, the path to vision is sealed,
For ages, the path, a barrier's art.
Now, even at Sinai, their face concealed,
Else, in these star-dusted nights, what wouldn't impart?
A promise whispered, fidelity's ghost.
