kya kuch na kaha tha dil ae nakaam se pahle
kya kuch na kaha tha dil ae nakaam se pahle
waakif the muhabbat ke ham anzaam se pahle
kya kuch na kaha tha dil ae nakaam se pahle
waakif the muhabbat ke ham anzaam se pahle
kya kuch na kaha tha dil ae nakaam se pahle

kaati hai muhabbat me to har tarah ki raatein
kaati hai muhabbat me to har tarah ki raatein
dil aaj dhadkane laga kyun aaj shaam se pahle
kya kuch na kaha tha dil ae nakaam se pahle
afsana kisi tarah mukkamil nahi hota
afsana kisi tarah mukkamil nahi hota
aata hai tera naam mere naam se pahle
kya kuch na kaha tha dil ae nakaam se pahle

nakaami ulfat hame jeene nahi degi
nakaami ulfat hame jeene nahi degi
marna bhi nahi hai tere paigam se pahle
kya kuch na kaha tha dil ae nakaam se pahle
waakif the muhabbat ke ham anzaam se pahle
kya kuch na kaha tha dil ae nakaam se pahle

Before the heart, defeated, first confessed,
What warnings echoed, deeply, unrested?
We knew the ending, love's final test,
Before the heart, defeated, was obsessed.

Through nights of passion, every shade we knew,
Why does the heart now quicken, as day's hue
Fades into twilight, shadows accrue?
Before the heart, defeated, felt anew.

No tale of love is ever truly whole,
No story finished, reaching its goal,
Your name appears before my very soul,
Before the heart, defeated, lost control.

The failure of love, it will not allow,
A life lived fully, here and now.
To die, we cannot, 'fore your message's vow,
Before the heart, defeated, took a bow.
We knew the ending, love's final test,
Before the heart, defeated, was obsessed.
