na jaane din kaise jeevan mein aaye hai
na jaane din kaise jeevan mein aaye hai
ke mujhe se to bichhade khud mere saare hai
na jaane din kaise jeevan mein aaye hai
na jaane din kaise jeevan mein aaye hai

kya kya socha tha kya kee umeede
jisake lie bhee mainne kho dee
aankhon kee ye neende usee se dukhon ke
tophe ye pae hai
na jaane din kaise jeevan mein aaye hai

samaja sukh jisako
chhaaya kee unakee
jaise kahee ret pe jam ke
kuchh bunde sabnam kee
ye dhokhe najar ke
ham ne bhee khae hai
na jaane din kaise jeevan mein aaye hai

Days unknown, they crept into my life,
Days unknown, a shadow, rife.
All that was mine, now turned to flight,
Days unknown, cloaked in endless night.
Days unknown, they crept into my life.

I dreamt of futures, hopes I spun,
For which I lost the setting sun.
From those I cherished, grief has come,
A bitter harvest, sorrow's drum.
Days unknown, they crept into my life.

I mistook joy for what it seemed,
A fleeting shade, a whispered dream,
Like dewdrops poised on desert sand,
A phantom touch, a shifting land.
These eye's deceits, we've known them well,
Days unknown, a living hell.
