kya batayen ki jaan gayi kaise
kya batayen ki jaan gayi kaise
phir se dohraye wo ghadi kaise
kya batayen ki jaan gayi kaise

kisne raste me chand rakha thaa
kisne raste me chand rakha thaa
mujhko thokar wahan lagi kaise
mujhko thokar wahan lagi kaise
kya batayen ki jaan gayi kaise

waqt pe paanv kab rakha humne
waqt pe paanv kab rakha humne
waqt pe paanv kab rakha humne
zindagi muh ke bal giri kaise
zindagi muh ke bal giri kaise
kya batayen ki jaan gayi kaise

aankh to bhar gayi thi paani se
aankh to bhar gayi thi paani se
teri tasvir jal gayi kaise
teri tasvir jal gayi kaise
kya batayen ki jaan gayi kaise

hum to ab yaad bhi nahi karte
hum to ab yaad bhi nahi karte
hum to ab yaad bhi nahi karte
aapko hichaki lag gayi kaise
aapko hichaki lag gayi kaise
kya batayen ki jaan gayi kaise
phir se dohraye wo ghadi kaise
kya batayen ki jaan gayi kaise
kya batayen ki jaan gayi kaise

How to speak of life's departure,
How to tell of how it fled,
How to play that hour again,
How to speak of how it fled.

Who placed the moon within the path,
Who placed that orb to gleam and guide?
How did I stumble in that place,
How did I stumble there to fall?
How to speak of how it fled.

When did my foot find steady ground?
When did my foot find solid place?
How did existence fall so hard,
How did life crash upon its face?
How to speak of how it fled.

My eyes were filled with oceans deep,
My eyes were full of watery pain,
How did your image burn away,
How did it vanish in the flame?
How to speak of how it fled.

I no longer remember you,
I no longer hold you near,
How do you still feel this pang,
How do you still bring forth a tear?
How to speak of how it fled,
How to play that hour again,
How to speak of how it fled,
How to speak of how it fled.
