hum bewfa hargiz na the par hum wafa kar na sake
humko mili uski saza, hum jo khata kar na sake
hum bewfa hargiz na the par hum wafa kar na sake

kitni akeli thi wo raahe ham jinpe ab tak akele chalte rahe
tujhse bichhad ke bhi o bekhabar tere hi gham me jalte rahe
tune kiya jo shikwa, ham wo gila kar na sake
hum bewfa hargiz na the par ham wafa kar na sake

tumne jo dekha suna sach tha magar kitna tha sach ye kisko pata
jaane tumhe maine koi dhokha diya, jaane tumhe koi dhokha hua
is pyaar me sach jhuth ka tum faisla kar na sake
hum bewfa hargiz na the par hum wafa kar na sake

We were never faithless, not truly,
yet fidelity, we couldn't weave.
Punishment we bore, a heavy due,
for sins uncommitted, we couldn't retrieve.
We were never faithless, not truly,
yet fidelity, we couldn't weave.

How lonely were those paths,
on which, even now, I walk alone.
Parted from you, oblivious one,
in your sorrow, I've still known,
burning embers, a love's slow death,
the complaint you made, we couldn't seize.
We were never faithless, not truly,
yet fidelity, we couldn't weave.

What you witnessed, what you heard, was true,
but how much truth, who truly knows?
Perhaps I deceived you, it's possible,
or maybe, deception, you chose,
to see in me, the lies you saw.
In this love, truth from lies, you couldn't believe.
We were never faithless, not truly,
yet fidelity, we couldn't weave.
