kisko khabar thi dil ki ye duniya
apne hi hatho barbad hogi
kisko khabar thi dil ki ye duniya
apne hi hatho barbad hogi
bijali giregi in hasrato pe
kisko khabar thi
ho malum kya tha
ho malum kya tha
milte hi najare chhayegi harshuwan ki ghataye
chhayegi harshuwan ki ghataye
saj ae tamnna hogi shikast
nagmo se paida fariyad hogi
saj ae tamnna hogi shikast
nagmo se paida fariyad hogi
kisko khabar thi dil ki ye duniya
apne hi hatho barbad hogi
kikso khabar thi

dil tut gaya hai bhar se lag ke
dil tut gaya hai bhar se lag ke
har sans hai to gam ki kahani
har sans hai to gam ki kahani
ujadi hui hai dil ki ye basti
alaah kaise aabad hogi
ujadi hui hai dil ki basti
alaah kaise aabad hogi
kisko khabar thi dil ki ye duniya
apne hi hatho barbad hogi
kisko khabar thi

Who knew this heart's world, so vast,
Would crumble by its own hand, at last?
Who knew this heart's world, so bright,
Would be consumed by its own endless night?
Lightning will strike these hopeful dreams,
Who knew of such destructive streams?

Had we known, had we foreseen,
The meeting of eyes, a vibrant scene,
A shadow would fall, a darkening haze,
And joy's sweet blooms would fade in a daze.
The instrument of longing, broken and bare,
From melodies, a lament would tear.
The instrument of longing, its music undone,
From songs, a despair would be spun.
Who knew this heart's world, so fair,
Would be demolished by its own despair?
Who knew?

The heart shattered, by its own embrace,
The heart shattered, time cannot erase.
Each breath a tale of sorrow's sting,
Each breath a painful offering.
This heart's desolation, a barren ground,
How, oh how, will solace be found?
This heart's ruin, a desolate place,
How, oh how, will it find grace?
Who knew this heart's world, so true,
Would be ruined by what it would do?
Who knew?
