kagaj ki thi wo naav
kagaj ki thi wo naav, hum jisme ja rahe the
wo ret ke jahan par hum ghar bana rahe the
wo ret ke jahan par hum ghar bana rahe the

jhuthi tasalliyo me, haye
jhuthi tasalliyo me hum din gujaarte the
jhuthi tasalliyo me hum din gujaarte the
gaana tha wo kisi ko hum gunguna rahe the
gaana tha wo kisi ko hum gunguna rahe the
kagaj ki thi wo naav, hum jisme ja rahe the

ulfat ka raag usne chheda to main ye samjhi
ulfat ka raag usne chheda to main ye samjhi
bigdi bana rahe hai kal wo bana nahi the
bigdi bana rahe hai kal wo bana nahi the
kagaj ki thi wo naav, hum jisme ja rahe the

A paper boat we sailed upon,
A paper boat, our vessel frail,
Across a world of shifting sand,
Where homes we built, destined to fail.

In hollow comforts, ah, we lingered,
In empty reassurances, days we spent,
A song for someone, softly humming,
A melody, its meaning, heaven-sent.
A paper boat we sailed upon.

When love's song rose, he gently played,
When love's song rose, I understood,
He mends the broken, he rebuilds the lost,
He wasn't always this, as once he stood.
A paper boat we sailed upon.
