shikwa hai mera tujhse khamosh tamashai
shikwa hai mera tujhko khamosh tamashai
arman rahe dil me or ho gayi ruswai
shikwa hai mera tujhko khamosh tamashai

manzil pe andhere hai insan lutere hai
manzil pe andhere hai insan lutere hai
jalim hai bade papi tere hai na mera hai
jau to kaha jau basne lagi tanhayi
shikwa hai mera tujhko khamosh tamashai

ek dhul hai raho me gam hai meri baho me
ek dhul hai raho me gam hai meri baho me
mai ek khilona hu logo ki nigaho me
aake teri dunia me aakhir to mai pachhtai
shikwa hai mera tujhko khamosh tamashai

A silent spectator, you, I chide,
A silent witness, where truths hide.
Peace in the heart, yet shame's tide,
A silent spectator, you, I chide.

Darkness descends upon the goal,
Humans, the thieves who steal the soul.
Cruel they are, taking their toll,
Yours, not mine, beyond control.
Where can I go, when loneliness swells?
A silent spectator, where truth tells.

Dust on the paths, sorrow in embrace,
Dust on the paths, in this empty space.
A toy I am, in the judging gaze,
Entering your world, I rue the days,
A silent spectator, I sadly cry.
