jane kyu dekhta hai insan aaina
jane kyu dekhta hai insan aaina
deta nhi sahi jab
deta nhi sahi jab pehachan aaina
jane kyu dekhta hai insan aaina
jane kyu dekhta hai insan aaina

aaina kuch nhi hai ankho ka dhokha hai
aata hai wo nazar dil me jo hota hai
aaina aur dil ka ek sa fasana hai
anjaam indono ka sirf tut jana
jee chaahein tod du
jee chaahein tod du beiman aaina
jane kyu dekhta hai insan aaina
jane kyu dekhta hai insan aaina

berukhi se pehle dilbar zakham de ke jate hai
hotho ki nok se phir marham lagate hai
ek aisa aaina ho jisme dil dikhae hum
unse kya hai mera rishta unko baatae hum
mujhpe agar ho mujhpe agar ho jae meharban aaina
jaane kyu dekhta hai insaan aaina
deta nahi sahi jab
deta nahi sahi jab pehchan aayiina
jane kyu dekhta hai insan aaina
jane kyu dekhta hai insan aaina

Why does man gaze into the glass,
Why does man gaze into the glass?
When truth it does not impart,
When truth it does not impart,
The glass reveals no truthful heart.
Why does man gaze into the glass,
Why does man gaze into the glass?

The mirror, a deception of sight,
Reflects what dwells within, the heart's true light.
The mirror and heart, a shared tale spun,
Their ending the same: shattered, undone.
I long to break,
I long to break, this faithless glass,
Why does man gaze into the glass,
Why does man gaze into the glass?

Before indifference, wounds it weaves,
Then with a smile, false solace it gives.
Oh, for a mirror to show the soul's face,
To show them mine, in time and space.
If only the glass would show me grace,
Why does man gaze into the glass,
When truth it does not impart,
When truth it does not impart,
The glass reveals no truthful heart.
Why does man gaze into the glass,
Why does man gaze into the glass?
