jaane tu meri kya hai, jane mai tera kya tha
sath tere har pal sath har lamha tha

kyu aise chubhti hai tujhse duri
kyu lagti hai zindagi yu adhuri
chhua kisi ne tujhko to laga ke
dil me kisi ne jaise aag laga ke
duniya jala di hai meri
jane tu meri kya hai, jane mai tera kya tha
sath tere har pal sath har lamha tha
jane kaisi kasak hai jane kaisi tadap hai
kyu ye aankhe nam hai jane kaisa gam hai
jana dil jana kaise maine na jana
ke pyar yahi hai ye jane tu ya jane na
jana dil jana kaise tune na jana
ke pyar to hai ye jane tu ya jane na

You, what am I to you, a whisper in the wind?
And I, what were you to me, a dawn that never ends?
With you, each moment bloomed, a boundless, shared embrace.

Why does your absence sting, a poisoned dart?
Why does life feel broken, torn apart?
If another's touch should graze your skin, I feel,
A fire erupts within, a searing zeal,
And burns the world to ash, a pyre of despair.
You, what am I to you, a breath of air?
And I, what were you to me, beyond compare?
With you, each moment shone, a star in endless space.

What ache is this, a phantom in the breast?
Why does this longing steal my soul's sweet rest?
Why do these eyes brim, with tears that freely flow?
What sorrow is this, that I alone must know?
My beloved, my heart, how did I come to see,
That love is this, though you may not agree?
My beloved, my heart, how could you fail to know,
This love is real, whether you let it grow?
