kaise batlaau tujhe jindagi pe kya beete
tere deewaane ki bebasi pe kya beete
kaise batlaau tujhe jindagi pe kya beete
tere deewaane ki bebasi pe kya beete
tere bagair sanam, tere bagair sanam
kaise batlaau tujhe jindagi pe kya beete
tere deewaane ki bebasi pe kya beete

rahu khaamosh to pal chhalte hain
muskuraau to honth jalte hain
rahu khaamosh to pal chhalte hain
muskuraau to honth jalte hain
sajaana chaahu magar churaake chehre par
na puchh mujhse ke us khushi pe kya beete
tere bagair sanam, tere bagair sanam
kaise samjhaau tujhe ke khudi pe kya beete
kaise samjhaau tujhe ke khudi pe kya beete

kuchh andheron ne gher rakha hai
gham ke gheron ne gher rakha hai
kuchh andheron ne gher rakha hai
gham ke gheron ne gher rakha hai
kahin se chhupate chhupaate jo aa gayi lab pe
na puchh mujhse ke us hansi pe kya beete
tere bagair sanam, tere bagair sanam
kaise samjhaau tujhe ke khudi pe kya beete
tere deewaane ki bebasi pe kya beete

How can I tell you what life has become,
What befalls your devotee, overcome?
How can I tell you what life has become,
What befalls your devotee, overcome?
Without you, beloved, without you, beloved,
How can I tell you what life has become,
What befalls your devotee, overcome?

If I am silent, moments they bleed,
If I smile, my very lips concede.
If I am silent, moments they bleed,
If I smile, my very lips concede.
To adorn, I yearn, though shadows creep,
Do not ask what that joy did keep,
Without you, beloved, without you, beloved,
How can I tell you what life has become,
What befalls your devotee, overcome?

Darkness has gathered, closing in,
Grief's encircling, a shadowed din.
Darkness has gathered, closing in,
Grief's encircling, a shadowed din.
From hidden spaces, laughter arose,
Do not ask what that joy bestows,
Without you, beloved, without you, beloved,
How can I explain, what to the self is shown,
What befalls your devotee, overcome?
