hum dil ki kahani kya kehte
kuch keh na sake kuch keh bhi gaye
keh bhi gaye bechain hazaro aasu the
bechain hazaro aasu the
kuch beh na sake kuch beh bhi gaye
beh bhi gaye

kya jane ummido ki kashti
lahro ki kahani kya hogi
chashmo ka dehna ye duba
chashmo ka dehna ye duba
dariya ki rawani kya hogi
haye kya hogi arman to lakho dil me the
arman to lakho dil me the
kuch rah na sake kuch reh bhi gaye
reh bhi gaye hum dil ki kahani kya kehte
kuch keh na sake kuch keh bhi gaye
keh bhi gaye

jin par ke bharosa tha jag me
wah sare sahare tut gaye ummid ki rate bit gayi
ummid ki rate bit gayi kismat ke sitare tut gaye
haye tut gaye najro se jo usne war kare
kuch sah na sake kuch sah bhi gaye
sah bhi gaye hum dil ki kahani kya kehte
kuch keh na sake kuch keh bhi gaye
keh bhi gaye

Of the heart's tale, what can be spoken?
Some words remain, some find their voice,
Finding voice, a thousand restless tears,
A thousand restless tears,
Some un-wept, some in a river released,
Released at last.

Who knows the fate of hope's small boat?
What the waves may decide to tell?
The gaze of eyes now drowned below,
The gaze of eyes now drowned below,
What currents the sea will unveil?
Oh, what of them? Dreams in their millions dwelling,
Dreams in their millions dwelling,
Some un-held, some now remain,
Remain at last. Of the heart's tale, what can be spoken?
Some words remain, some find their voice,
Finding voice.

Those in whom faith was placed on earth,
All such supports have shattered now,
The nights of hope have come and gone,
The nights of hope have come and gone,
The stars of fate are falling down,
Oh, falling down! From eyes, her arrows rained,
Some un-borne, some now endured,
Endured at last. Of the heart's tale, what can be spoken?
Some words remain, some find their voice,
Finding voice.
