kanch ke badan liye maine
kanch ke badan liye maine
dekar man ke sacche moti
pata na tha hire wali
mohit haridy pe nahi hoti
kanch ke badan liye main e

nishan nahi rahta hai koi
panchi jo gujare ambar se
nishan nahi rahta hai koi
panchi jo gujare ambar se
banti nahi pani pe lakire
kashti jo gujre sagar se
tera man kyun yad karega
tera mab kyun yad karega
chala jo main tere dar se
kanch ke badan liye maine

ada thi uski sab se milna
aadat me muskana tha
ada thi uski sab se milna
aadat me muskana tha
vakt katna tha fursat ka
chahat ka to bahana tha
wo to meharban hi nikla
wo to meharban hi nikla
mahbub ke jisko mana tha
kanch ke badan liye maine
kanch ke badan liye maine
dekar man ke sacche moti
pata na tha hire wali
mohit haridy pe nahi hoti
kanch ke badan liye maine
kanch ke badan liye maine

I bore a body of glass,
a vessel fragile and clear,
offering the heart's true pearls,
unaware that hearts of diamond
do not succumb to such allure.
I bore a body of glass.

No trace remains,
when a bird crosses the heavens,
no trace remains,
when a ship cuts through the sea.
Why then, will your heart remember,
when I depart from your door?
I bore a body of glass.

Her way was to meet all,
her habit, a smile's embrace,
her way was to meet all,
her habit, a smile's embrace.
Time was to be passed in leisure,
love's desire, a mere pretext.
She proved to be so gracious,
the beloved she was thought to be.
I bore a body of glass.
I bore a body of glass,
a vessel fragile and clear,
offering the heart's true pearls,
unaware that hearts of diamond
do not succumb to such allure.
I bore a body of glass.
