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

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

tumne jo dekha suna, sach tha magar
kitna tha sach, ye kisko pata
jane tumhe maine, koi dhokha diya
jane tumhe, koi dhokha hua
is pyar me sach jhuth ka
tum faisla kar na sake
hum bewafa hargiz na the
par hum wafa kar na sake
humko mili uski saza
hum jo khata kar na sake
hum bewafa hargiz na the

We were never faithless, not in truth,
But to be faithful, we could not.
Her punishment was ours to bear,
For sins we failed to commit.
We were never faithless, not in truth,
But to be faithful, we could not.

How lonely were those paths we trod,
And still, alone, we walk them now.
Though parted from you, unaware,
We burn with grief for you somehow.
The complaint you voiced, though clear,
We failed to utter, could not allow.
We were never faithless, not in truth,
But to be faithful, we could not.

What you saw, what you heard, was true,
But how much truth, who truly knew?
Perhaps I deceived you, in some way,
Or perhaps, by others, you were untrue.
In this love, of truth and lies,
The judgment, you could not pursue.
We were never faithless, not in truth,
But to be faithful, we could not.
Her punishment was ours to bear,
For sins we failed to commit.
We were never faithless…
