ret ki tarah kaanch ka panchhi
meri zindagi teri gulam kyu
hath se phisle, toot ke toote
ha meri zindagi teri gulam kyu

ret ki tarah kanch ka panchhi
meri zindagi teri gulam kyu
haath se phisle, toot ke toote
ha meri zindagi teri gulam kyu
isko bata de, tu nahi hai
tu nahi thi, mere paas me
mera dil teri yaad me toot hi jaye
ha rooth hi jaye khhud se
mera dil teri yaad me toot hi jaye
ha rooth hi jaaye khhud se
ret ki tarah kanch ka panchhi
meri zindagi teri gulaam kyu
haath se phisle, toot ke toote
ha meri zindagi teri gulam kyu

kacchi si eetein, tooti deeware
tere sahare thi jo kisi zamane me
haath me tere thi meri duniya
mere sahare thi jo kisi zamane me
mera dil teri yaad me toot hi jaye
ha rooth hi jaye khhud se
mera dil teri yaad me toot hi jaye
ha rooth hi jaye khhud se

illum hai mujhko, tu yahi kahi hai
tere aansu mere khoon me rama kyu
dikhta nahi kyu inn aankhon ko
dil me phir bhi tere ittne nishan kyu
mera dil teri yaad me toot hi jaye
ha rooth hi jaye, khhud se
mera dil teri yaad me toot hi jaye
ha rooth hi jaye, khhud se

A glass bird, like sand, slips through my grasp,
Why is my life your captive?
Slipping, shattering, fragments falling fast,
Oh, why is my life your captive?

A glass bird, like sand, so frail,
Why is my life your captive?
Slipping, shattering, beyond all wail,
Oh, why is my life your captive?
Tell it now, you're not within my reach,
You were never truly mine, I see.
My heart will break, consumed by your plea,
And turn away from even me.
My heart will break, consumed by your plea,
And turn away from even me.

A glass bird, like sand, dispersed and gone,
Why is my life your captive?
Slipping, shattering, the light withdrawn,
Oh, why is my life your captive?

Bricks like shards, walls now torn asunder,
Once held by you, in days of yore.
My world resided in your tender wonder,
And I, in yours, forevermore.
My heart will break, consumed by your plea,
And turn away from even me.
My heart will break, consumed by your plea,
And turn away from even me.

I know, somehow, you're still nearby,
Why are your tears entwined with my blood?
Why can these eyes not see you fly?
Yet in my heart, your echoes flood.
My heart will break, consumed by your plea,
And turn away from even me.
My heart will break, consumed by your plea,
And turn away from even me.
