gumsum hai dil tanha hai dil
gumsum hai dil tanha hai dil
jaanu na mai dhunde kya dil
gumsum hai dil tanha hai dil
gumsum hai dil tanha hai dil

sahma sahma kyu haira hai sama
ruke ruke kyu dil ke hai arma
jal bhi mai rahi par dhua nahi, waqt bhi hai thahra
gumsum hai dil tanha hai dil
janu na mai dhunde kya dil

zara zara kyu nam hai fiza
mere liye kyu kam hai aasma
silvato me hai zindagi meri, dekhti chehra tera
gumsum hai dil tanha hai dil
gumsum hai dil tanha hai dil

kyu is dard me mithi si ik aash hai
kyu fir rubaru hone ki pyas hai
kyu ajnabi sapna apna sa lage
kyu in sapno me koi ajnabi khas hai
darti hu kahi dil ki dillagi, dard na de gahra
gumsum hai dil tanha hai dil
gumsum hai dil tanha hai dil
janu na mai dhunde kya dil, dhunde kya dil

Silent is the heart, lonely is the heart,
Silent is the heart, lonely is the heart.
I know not what my heart seeks,
Silent is the heart, lonely is the heart,
Silent is the heart, lonely is the heart.

Why is the world so hushed, so bewildered?
Why do the heart's desires stand still?
I burn, yet no smoke rises, time itself is frozen,
Silent is the heart, lonely is the heart.
I know not what my heart seeks.

Why is the atmosphere a little damp?
Why is the sky so small for me?
Life is etched in these wrinkles, gazing at your face,
Silent is the heart, lonely is the heart.
Silent is the heart, lonely is the heart.

Why is there a sweet hope in this pain?
Why this thirst to meet again?
Why does a stranger seem like my own?
Why is a stranger special in these dreams?
I fear the heart's affections, lest they bring deep pain,
Silent is the heart, lonely is the heart.
Silent is the heart, lonely is the heart.
I know not what my heart seeks, what does it seek?
