kya khabar thi is tarah se, wo juda ho jayega
kya khabar thi is tarah se, wo juda ho jayega
khwaab mein bhi uska milna, khwaab sa ho jayega
kya khabar thi is tarah se, wo juda ho jayega

zindagi ki qaid-e-gham se, kya nikaloge use
zindagi ki qaid-e-gham se, kya nikaloge use
maut jab aa jaayegi to khud riha ho jayega
kya khabar thi is tarah se, wo juda ho jayega
khwaab mein bhi uska milna, khwaab sa ho jayega

dost bankar usko chaha, ye kabhi socha na tha
dost bankar usko chaha, ye kabhi socha na tha
dosti hi dosti mein, wo khuda ho jayega
kya khabar thi is tarah se, wo juda ho jayega

uska jalwa hoga kya, jiska ke parda noor hai
uska jalwa hoga kya, jiska ke parda noor hai
jo bhi usko dekh lega, wo fida ho jayega
kya khabar thi is tarah se, wo juda ho jayega
khwaab mein bhi uska milna, khwaab sa ho jayega
kya khabar thi is tarah se, wo juda ho jayega

Did we know he'd part this way, so soon?
Did we know he'd part this way?
That even dreams, his presence, would become a dream,
Did we know he'd part this way?

From life's sorrow-filled prison, how will you free him?
From life's sorrow-filled prison?
When death arrives, he’ll find his own release,
Did we know he'd part this way?
That even dreams, his presence, would become a dream,

As a friend, I loved him; this, I never knew,
As a friend, I loved him, this never dreamt,
Friendship itself, within itself, would become God,
Did we know he'd part this way?

What will be the splendor of the one whose veil is light?
What will be the splendor of the one whose veil is light?
Whoever beholds him, will become devoted,
Did we know he'd part this way?
That even dreams, his presence, would become a dream,
Did we know he'd part this way?
