kaun sunega kis ko sunaye isliye chup rehte hai
kaun sunega kis ko sunaye
kaun sunega kis ko sunaye isliye chup rehte hai
hamse apne ruth na jaye
hamse apne ruth na jaye isliye chup rehte hai

meri surat dekhne walo mai bhi ek aayina tha
meri surat dekhne walo mai bhi ek aayina tha
tuta jab ye shisha ye dil sawan ka mahina tha
tukde dil ko kisko dikhaye
tukde dil ko kisko dikhaye isliye chup rehte hai
hamse apne ruth na jaye
hamse apne ruth na jaye isliye chup rehte hai

aaj khushi ki is mahfil me apna ji bhar aaya hai
aaj khushi ki is mahfil me apna ji bhar aaya hai
gum ki koi bat nahi hai hame khushi ne rulaya hai
aankh se aansu bah na jaye
aankh se aansu bah na jaye isliye chup rehte hai
hamse apne ruth na jaye
hamse apne ruth na jaye isliye chup rehte hai

pyar ke phul chune the hamne khushi ki sej sajane ko
pyar ke phul chune the hamne khushi ki sej sajane ko
patjhad ban kar aayi bahare ghar me aag lagane ko
aag me gum ki jal na jaye
aag me gum ki jal na jaye isliye chup rehte hai
kaun sunega kis ko sunaye
kaun sunega kis ko sunaye isliye chup rehte hai
isliye chup rehte hai, isliye chup rehte hai

Whom to tell, who would hear, so silence we keep,
Whom to tell, who would hear,
Whom to tell, who would hear, so silence we keep,
Lest our own should now weep.

Those who gazed upon my face, a mirror I'd been,
Those who gazed upon my face, a mirror I'd been,
Shattered glass, a heart now, monsoon within,
Whose heart-pieces to show?
Whose heart-pieces to show, so silence we keep,
Lest our own should now weep.

Joy's gathering, overflowing heart,
Joy's gathering, overflowing heart,
No sorrow here, yet tears now start,
Happiness brought such art.
Lest tears should now spill,
Lest tears should now spill, so silence we keep,
Lest our own should now weep.

Love's blooms we gathered, to grace a joyous bed,
Love's blooms we gathered, to grace a joyous bed,
Autumn winds, to set our house aflame instead,
Lest grief should burn within,
Lest grief should burn within, so silence we keep,
Whom to tell, who would hear,
Whom to tell, who would hear, so silence we keep,
So silent we keep, so silent we keep.
