meri aankho mein aansu hai
magar main ro nahi sakti
bujhegi aag ye kaise
ki barish ho nahi sakti
main chupke chupke jala karti hu
chhupa kar aansu hansa karti hu
main chupke chupke jala karti hu
chhupa kar aansu hansa karti hu

mujhe malum hai ab main ho
mujhe malum hai ab main ho
kabhi khush ho nahi sakti
meri aankho mein aansu hai
magar main ro nahi sakti

na rate apni na din apne hai
hajaro tute huye sapne hai
na rate apni na din apne hai
hajaro tute huye sapne hai
meri palko mein ninde hai ho
meri palko mein ninde hai
magar main so nahi sakti
meri aankho mein aansu hai
magar main ro nahi sakti
bujhegi aag ye kaise
ki barish ho nahi sakti

Tears reside within my eyes,
Yet weeping is a path denied.
How can this fire ever cease,
When rain itself cannot appease?
Silently I smolder deep,
Concealing tears, a smile to keep.
Silently I smolder deep,
Concealing tears, a smile to keep.

I know, I know, I understand,
I know, I know, I understand,
Joy's embrace I cannot command.
Tears reside within my eyes,
Yet weeping is a path denied.

Neither nights nor days are mine,
Shattered dreams, a broken line.
Neither nights nor days are mine,
Shattered dreams, a broken line.
Slumber dwells upon my lids,
Slumber dwells upon my lids,
Yet sleep itself cannot be bid.
Tears reside within my eyes,
Yet weeping is a path denied.
How can this fire ever cease,
When rain itself cannot appease?
