khamosh nigahe ye sunati hai kahani
khamosh nigahe ye sunati hai kahani
lo aaj chali thokre khane ko jawani
khamosh nigahe khamosh nigahe

ye man liya panchi
ye man liya kat liye par hai kisi ne
par dil ki kahani to hai piya ko sunani
khamosh nigahe khamosh nigahe
harsu hai andhera to diya ek bhi jale kyon
phuti hui kismat ko hai ab thokre khani
khamosh nigahe khamosh nigahe

hai rat suhani diye jalte hai hazaro
hai rat suhani diye jalte hai hazaro
hasrat ke andhere se bani aaj diwani aj diwani
khamosh nigahe khamosh nigahe
shayad ye tere ujde hue dil ki hai tasavir
pani ki ravani me chirago ki ravani
khamosh nigahe khamosh nigahe

ghar bar ujada teri furqat me junu se
sine se laga rakhi hai ek teri nishani ek teri nishani
khamosh nigahe khamosh nigahe
bazar me dhundha tujhe galiyon me pukara
afasos kisi ne na suni aur na mani aur na mani
khamosh nigahe khamosh nigahe

din-rat tujhe dhoondh rahi aye
din-rat tujhe dhoondh rahi hai meri ankhen
jayenge jaha le chale ashko ki ravani
khamosh nigahe khamosh nigahe
takdir dar-e-yar pe akhir mujhe layi
ha takdir dar-e-yar pe akhir mujhe layi
sun dil ki kahani meri ankho ki zubani
khamosh nigahe khamosh nigahe

Silent eyes, a tale unfold,
Silent eyes, a story told,
Youth departs to stumble, cold,
Silent eyes, forever bold.

Though the bird's wings, they did sever,
Though the cage confines forever,
Still the heart's tale, to the beloved,
Silent eyes, a love endeavored.
Darkness reigns on every side,
Yet no single lamp is lit to guide,
Fate's shattered shards, now collide,
Silent eyes, where sorrows hide.

The night is sweet, a thousand lamps alight,
The night is sweet, a beacon bright,
Desire's shadows, now in flight,
Silent eyes, embrace the night.
Perhaps a portrait of your heart,
A ruined soul, a world apart,
In flowing water, flames depart,
Silent eyes, a fading art.

Home and hearth, in madness cast aside,
Home and hearth, in passion denied,
A memory, held close inside,
Silent eyes, where truths reside.
The market searched, the streets I've cried,
Alas, no ear, no heart replied,
Silent eyes, where tears preside.

Day and night, your face I seek,
Day and night, the words I speak,
Where tears will flow, the heart is weak,
Silent eyes, the words they speak.
Fate, at last, has brought me near,
Fate, at last, has banished fear,
Hear the heart's tale, through my tear,
Silent eyes, the soul to hear.
