na dil hamara na tu hamara
na yu nibhegi na yu nibhegi
na dil hamara na tu hamara
na yu nibhegi na yu nibhegi
kahi nadi hai kahi kinara
kahi nadi hai kahi kinara
na yu nibhegi na yu nibhegi

kabhi hansa kar rulaya hamko
kabhi hansa kar rulaya hamko
kabhi hansa kar rulaya hamko
kabhi hansa kar rulaya hamko
kabhi dubaya kabhi ubhara
kabhi dubaya kabhi ubhara
na yu nibhegi na yu nibhegi

gale mein hichaki jigar pe chhale
palak pe aansu juba pe tale
gale mein hichaki jigar pe chhale
palak pe aansu juba pe tale
kaha pe jaye nasib mara
kaha pe jaye nasib mara
na yu nibhegi na yu nibhegi

hai nind meri khwab tere
sawal tere jwab mere
hai nind meri khwab tere
sawal tere jwab mere
na ham mein himmat na tu sahara
na ham mein himmat na tu sahara
na yu nibhegi na yu nibhegi

Our hearts, not ours, nor yours to claim,
This dance, it cannot last the same.
Our hearts, not ours, nor yours to claim,
This dance, it cannot last the same.
A river here, a distant shore,
This dance, it cannot last the more.

You laughed, then wept, and broke the light,
You laughed, then wept, and dimmed the night.
You laughed, then wept, and broke the light,
You laughed, then wept, and dimmed the night.
You drowned us deep, then gave us breath,
This dance, it cannot conquer death.

A sob that chokes, a heart that bleeds,
Tears on the lash, the tongue that pleads.
A sob that chokes, a heart that bleeds,
Tears on the lash, the tongue that pleads.
Where do we run, this fate that scars?
This dance, it cannot reach the stars.

My sleep, your dreams, a woven thread,
Your questions posed, my answers said.
My sleep, your dreams, a woven thread,
Your questions posed, my answers said.
No strength in us, no help in you,
This dance, it cannot see us through.
