mai sochta hu tumhari dunia se dur maine jo koi
dunia bana li hoti to jinadagi kitni khali hoti
mai sochti hu ke mere sapno me tum hi tum ho
ye bat maine chupa li hoti, to ye jinadagi kitni khali hoti

mai kya batau ke tumse milke, mai kis tarah se badal gayi hu
ho mai phul banke mahak rahi hu, mai shama banke pighal gayi hu
mai sochta hu jo tum na lati hasi ujale
to rat hoti jo kali hoti, to jindagi kitni khali hoti

jo tum nahi thi to jaise meri, har ek khushi me koi kami thi
mai has raha tha magar in aankho me, fir bhi jaise koi nami thi
mai sochti hu jo aarzu hai wo dil me rahti
na hamne lab se nikali hoti, to jindagi kitni khali hoti
mai sochta hu tumhari dunia se dur maine jo koi
dunia bana li hoti, to jindagi kitni khali hoti

If I, apart from your world, had built a life,
How empty would existence be, consumed by strife.
If in my dreams, I hadn't let you bloom,
And kept this truth concealed within the room,
How empty would existence be, sealed in gloom.

How can I tell the ways you changed my core?
Like a fragrant bloom, I'm blossoming to the fore,
A candle's flame, I melt and softly gleam.
If you had not brought forth this joyous beam,
And shadows held the night, a silent dream,
How empty would existence be, a bitter stream.

When you were gone, a void in every joy,
A subtle sorrow, that would not destroy.
Though laughter danced, a tear concealed its trace.
If wishes hidden, I hadn't embraced,
And spoken from the heart, in time and space,
How empty would existence be, a desolate place.

If I, apart from your world, had built a life,
How empty would existence be, consumed by strife.
