khamosh kyo khada hain, sukh anjaan baat kar
khamosh kyo khada hain, sukh anjaan baat kar
mar jayega magar, meri maan baat kar
khamosh kyo khada hain, sukh anjaan baat kar

kisane kaha ke baat ka, matlab bhi ho koi
kisane kaha ke baat ka, matlab bhi ho koi
is daur ki yahi to hain pahchan baat kar
khamosh kyo khada hain, sukh anjaan baat kar

chupchaap haar maanana, mansad nahi tera
chupchaap haar maanana, mansad nahi tera
tujh shaan ke nahi hain, ye shayan ki baat kar
khamosh kyo khada hain, sukh anjaan baat kar

kyun aankh teri nam hain, teri apni hansi par
kyun aankh teri nam hain, teri apni hansi par
dil kisane kar diya tera, viraan baat kar
khamosh kyo khada hain, sukh anjaan baat kar

shahjaad hain fiza to baharo ka jikr laa
shahjaad hain fiza to baharo ka jikr laa
badla to kya hain phul ka, arman baat kar
khamosh kyo khada hain, sukh anjaan baat kar
mar jayega magar, meri maan baat kar
khamosh kyo khada hain, sukh anjaan baat kar

Why stand you silent, speak of unknown bliss,
Why stand you silent, speak of unknown bliss,
Though death may come, heed my words, converse like this,
Why stand you silent, speak of unknown bliss.

Who said that words must carry meaning's weight,
Who said that words must carry meaning's weight,
This age's mark, to speak without the gate,
Why stand you silent, speak of unknown bliss.

To yield in silence, such is not your aim,
To yield in silence, such is not your aim,
This does not suit your grandeur, speak your flame,
Why stand you silent, speak of unknown bliss.

Why tears descend, upon your laughter's face,
Why tears descend, upon your laughter's face,
Who made your heart a desolate, empty space,
Why stand you silent, speak of unknown bliss.

If airs are royal, bring the oceans' call,
If airs are royal, bring the oceans' call,
What changed the flower, speak of desire's thrall,
Why stand you silent, speak of unknown bliss,
Though death may come, heed my words, converse like this,
Why stand you silent, speak of unknown bliss.
