humse kiya hai sabne dihkawa
koi humara yaar nahi
sabne dihkawa koi humara yaar nahi
ya hume pyar na karna aaya
ya duniya me pyar nahi, pyar nahi
humse kiya hai sabne dihkawa

pal pal rang badalte dekhe
inshani tasveero ke
mila na hriday parakhne wala
mile parkhi heero ke
koi bhi aachal nahi hai kinara
waha koi patwaar nahi
ya hume pyar na karna aaya
ya duniya me pyar nahi, pyar nahi
hum se kiya hai sabne dihkawa

kaliya sunti hai sahnayi
bhawro ke armano ki
sare chaman me baat na puche
koi bhi parwano ki
phulo me kya adhikar humara
kato ke bhi hakdaar nahi
ya hume pyar na karna aaya
ya duniya me pyar nahi, pyar nahi
hum se kiya hai sabne dihkawa

All have donned a mask for me,
None a true friend to be.
All wear a facade, no true friend to see.
Or love's language I cannot speak,
Or love itself is not in this world, no, not for me.
All have donned a mask for me.

Moment by moment, hues they shift,
The portraits of human kind.
None to gauge the heart's true drift,
Only diamond-assessors I find.
No sheltering veil to provide,
No rudder to guide, you see.
Or love's language I cannot speak,
Or love itself is not in this world, no, not for me.
All have donned a mask for me.

Blossoms hear the wedding song,
Of the bumblebee's desire.
No one heeds, all day long,
The moths who set hearts afire.
What right have we in the floral sphere?
Not even thorns belong to we.
Or love's language I cannot speak,
Or love itself is not in this world, no, not for me.
All have donned a mask for me.
