ruk gaya aankh se bahta hua dariya kaise
ruk gaya aankh se bahta hua dariya kaise
gham ka tufa to bahut tej tha thahra kaise
ruk gaya aankh se bahta hua dariya kaise

mujhko khud par bhi bharosa nahi hone pata
mujhko khud par bhi bharosa nahi hone pata
log kar lete hain gairo pe bharosa kaise
log kar lete hain gairo pe bharosa kaise

har ghadi tere khayalo me ghira rahta hu
har ghadi tere khayalo me ghira rahta hu
milna chahu to milu khud se main tanha kaise
milna chahu to milu khud se main tanha kaise

aur bhi ahal-e-khirad ahal-e-junu the maujud
aur bhi ahal-e-khirad ahal-e-junu the maujud
lut gaye hum hi teri bajm me tanha kaise
lut gaye hum hi teri bajm me tanha kaise
gham ka tufa to bahut tej tha thahra kaise
ruk gaya aankh se bahta hua dariya kaise
ruk gaya aankh se bahta hua dariya kaise

The river that flowed from my eye, now stilled, how?
The storm of sorrow, so fierce, yet hushed, how?
The river that flowed from my eye, now stilled, how?

I find it hard to trust even myself, I know.
Others place their faith in strangers, though, how?
Others place their faith in strangers, though, how?

Lost in your thoughts, each moment I reside.
To meet myself, alone, how can I now?
To meet myself, alone, how can I now?

And yet, wise men, and those consumed by love, were there.
We alone were plundered in your gathering, how?
The storm of sorrow, so fierce, yet hushed, how?
The river that flowed from my eye, now stilled, how?
The river that flowed from my eye, now stilled, how?
