kya khabar thi yu tamanna khak me mil jayegi
kya khabar thi yu tamanna khak me mil jayegi
hum to samjhe the mohabbat raas hamko aayegi
hum to samjhe the mohabbat raas hamko aayegi

ashk aankho me machal kar
kah rahe hai baar baar
dil ki dhadkan dard bankar har ghadi tadpayegi
kya khabar thi yu tamanna khak me mil jayegi

gum se dhokha koi na hoga is jaha me gum gujar
gum se dhokha koi na hoga is jaha me gum gujar
jindagi ko har kadam par maut bhi thukrayegi
raat rone me kategi din katega yaad me
raat rone me kategi din katega yaad me
ye judai bewafai umar bhar tadpayegi
kya khabar thi yu tamanna khak me mil jayegi

Who knew desire would crumble into dust like this?
Who knew desire would crumble into dust like this?
We thought love would bloom, a sweet, familiar grace.
We thought love would bloom, a sweet, familiar grace.

Tears, welling up, a restless tide within the eye,
Whisper again and again, a heart's thrum, a constant pain.
Each beat, a wound, it will torment you every hour.
Who knew desire would crumble into dust like this?

Sorrow, they say, betrays you in this world,
Sorrow, they say, betrays you in this world,
Life, at every turn, will even reject death’s embrace.
The night will weep, the day will fade in memory's hold,
This separation, this faithlessness, will torment you forever.
Who knew desire would crumble into dust like this?
