kyu phulo ke khile khile rang ud gaye
kyu phulo ke khile khile rang ud gaye
kyu in dino khud se rahti hu main
khafa khafa, khafa khafa

jane kaisi mulakaato me
yun hi aisi waisi baato me
kare chhote mote wade the
kisi chhote se bahane se pake tujhe kho diya
meri hi hai khata meri hi hai saza
phir bhi dil kahe ye kyu hua
kyu in dino khud se rahti hun main
khafa khafa, khafa khafa

dhua dhua si kahani hai
tabhi aankho me bhi pani hai
gaalo se jo ye gujarti hai
tere gam ki nishnai hai
mit si gayi har dua
meri hi hai khata meri hi hai saza
phir bhi dil kahe ye kyu hua
kyu in dino khud se rahti hu main
khafa khafa, khafa khafa
kyu phulo ke khile khile rang ud gaye

Why have the vibrant hues of blooms taken flight?
Why have the vibrant hues of blooms taken flight?
Why these days do I dwell within myself,
cross, cross, so cross?

In meetings, fleeting and frail,
in words that drift on a careless gale,
we whispered promises, slight,
and with a flimsy pretext, I found you, then lost.
The fault is mine, the sentence, too,
yet still, my heart asks, why did it come to be?
Why these days do I dwell within myself,
cross, cross, so cross?

A tale of smoke, a veiled facade,
that mirrors tears, a weeping cascade,
it flows, a river, down my cheek,
a trace of sorrow, silently to speak.
Every prayer has turned to dust,
The fault is mine, the sentence, too,
yet still, my heart asks, why did it come to be?
Why these days do I dwell within myself,
cross, cross, so cross?
Why have the vibrant hues of blooms taken flight?
