koyi gesu koyi aachal hame aawaj na de
ab kisi aankh ka kajal hame aawaj na de
ham hai khamosh to khamosh hi rehne do hame
koyi aahat koyi halchal hame aawaj na de
hamne tanhayi ko mehbub bana rakha hai
raakh ki dher ne sholo ko daba rakha hai

phir pukara hai mohabat ne hame kya kijye
di sada husn ki jannat ne hame kya kijye
jis ke saye se bhi aksar hame dar lagta tha
chhu liya aakhir usi hasrat ne hume kya kijye
hamne jajbat se daman ko bacha rakha hai
raakh ki dher ne sholo ko daba rakha hai

raas aaye na kabhi pyar ke halaat hame
dil ke is khel me har bar huyi mat hame
kya karenge kaha jayenge kidhar jayenge
de gayi jab bhi daga agar ye mulakat hame
bas isi soch ne deevana bana rakha hai
raakh ki dher ne sholo ko daba rakha hai
raakh ki dher ne sholo ko daba rakha hai

Let no whisper, no embrace call to us,
Nor kohl-lined gaze, not their touch.
We've found silence, let us remain so,
Let no footfall, no stir, disturb us much.
We've made solitude our dearest love,
The ash heap has smothered the flame above.

Love's call echoes, what shall we do?
Beauty's paradise beckons, what can we pursue?
That which we feared, its shadows cast,
Has touched us now, what now shall ensue?
We've sheltered our hearts from all that may be,
The ash heap has smothered the flame, you see.

Love's fortunes never favored our plight,
In this heart's game, defeat took its bite.
What will we do, where will we go, where shall we roam?
When this meeting betrays us in the fading light.
This thought alone drives us to a state of madness,
The ash heap has smothered the flame, a hidden sadness.
The ash heap has smothered the flame, its touch of callous.
