lafzo ko jubaan pe rok liya
lafzo ko jubaan pe rok liya
par aaho ko lab se hata na sake
par aaho ko lab se hata na sake
ashkon ne dhindhora pit diya
ashkon ne dhindhora pit diya
hum raaz ae mohabbat paa na sake
hum raaz ae mohabbat paa na sake

batla na sake samjha na sake
dil khol ke dil ka haale unhe
dil khol ke dil ka haale unhe
hum apna aap ganwaa kar bhi
hum apna aap ganwaa kar bhi
armaaano ki duniya ko paa na sake
armaaano ki duniya ko paa na sake

bas aankh se aankh ka milna tha
ye hosh ki duniya khaak huyi
ye hosh ki duniya khaak huyi
wo aag lagakar chalte huye
wo aag lagakar chalte huye
hum dil ki lagi ko bujha na sake
hum dil ki lagi ko bujha na sake

takdeer mein hi jab preet na thi
phir unse shikayat na karte
phir unse shikayat na karte
fursat na mili wo aa na sake
fursat na mili wo aa na sake
hum sur ko aur badha na sake
hum sur ko aur badha na sake

Words I held back, a fortress of the tongue,
Yet sighs escaped, a whispered, mournful song.
Tears, the heralds, proclaimed my hidden plight,
The secret of love, I couldn't bring to light.

I couldn't speak, nor could I make them see,
My heart laid bare, exposed for them to be.
Myself I lost, in giving all I knew,
Yet the world of longing, I could not pursue.

Just eyes that met, a fleeting, tender glance,
And reason's world dissolved in fiery trance.
They walked away, the fire they had sown,
The burning love, I could not call my own.

If fate decreed that love would never bloom,
Then why complain, enveloped in the gloom?
They had no time, they could not come to me,
The melody of longing, I could not set free.
