choti choti baate yunhi aate jaate yaade sehlake jati hai
raato ko sirhane baasi muskaane mujhko sulaake jati hai
milna nahi hai mumkin itna batao lekin hum phir mile kyu hai
tujhko bhula na paau, tujhko bhula na paau yeh silsile kyu hai
sab kuch wahi hai par kuch kami hai teri aahate nahi hai
sab kuch wahi hai par kuch kami hai teri aahate nahi hai, nahi hai

maine nahi jaana, tune nahi jaana jaane anjaane jo hua
kuch toh hua, jo mujhko hua na tujhko magar kyu hua
galti nahi hai teri, galti nahi hai meri phir bhi gile kyu hai
tujhko bhula na paau, tujhko bhula na paau ye silsile kyu hai
sab kuch wahi hai, wahi hai
par kuch kami hai, kami hai teri aahate nahi hai
sab kuch wahi hai, par kuch kami hai teri aahate nahi hai, nahi hai, nahi hai
teri aahate nahi hai, aahate nahi hai
teri aahate nahi hai
teri aahate nahi hai, aahate nahi hai
teri aahate nahi hai kyu kyu nahi hai

Frail whispers brush against the soul, memories like phantoms stroll,
And smiles that linger, soft and low, lull me nightly, to and fro.
Though fate decrees we cannot meet, tell me, why these echoes sweet?
I cannot forget, I cannot leave, why these threads I can't retrieve?
All remains, yet something's lost, your gentle footsteps, at what cost?
All remains, yet something's gone, your silent presence, now withdrawn, withdrawn.

Neither knew, nor understood, the unspoken that, between us, stood.
Something stirred, in me it grew, but in you, did it come to be too?
No fault of yours, nor mine to blame, why then, this lingering of shame?
I cannot forget, I cannot leave, why these threads I can't retrieve?
All remains, remains the same,
Yet something's lost, this burning flame, your gentle footsteps, are they tame?
All remains, yet something's gone, your silent presence, now withdrawn, withdrawn,
Your footsteps gone, they're not here,
Your footsteps gone, they are not near,
Your footsteps gone, they're not here,
Your footsteps gone, why oh why?
