kuch pal to thehar jaao na
ya phir laut ke aao na
yoon kehte nahi alvida
mud jaao idhar aao na
tumhe dhoonde meri aankhe
tumhe khoje meri baahein
tum bin jiya jaaye kaise
kaise jiya jaaye tum bin
tum bin jiya jaaye kaise
kaise jiya jaaye tum bin

kitne the waade kiye
ik pal mein tod diye
jhootha nahi tu mujhko pata hai
bas thoda rootha sa hai
tu roothe main manaau
par tum bin kahan jaaun
tum bin jiya jaaye kaise
kaise jiya jaaye tum bin
tum bin jiya jaaye kaise
kaise jiya jaaye tum bin

ye aasmaan aur zameen
bin tere kuch bhi nahi
saanso se mohlat zara maang lena
yoon uthke jaate nahi
ya phir tu mujhe le chal
sang apne jidhar tu chala
tum bin jiya jaaye kaise
kaise jiya jaaye tum bin
tum bin jiya jaaye kaise
kaise jiya jaaye tum bin

Stay a moment, linger near,
Or return, let your presence be clear.
One does not simply say farewell,
Turn, come back, stories to tell.
My eyes seek you, a desperate plea,
My arms yearn, eternally.
How can I live without your light?
How can I breathe, bereft of sight?
How can I live without your grace?
How can I find my resting place?

Promises whispered, soft and low,
Shattered in an instant's blow.
I know you're not false, my heart knows true,
Just a little wounded, it's true.
I'd soothe your anger, calm your pain,
But without you, where can I remain?
How can I live without your light?
How can I breathe, bereft of sight?
How can I live without your grace?
How can I find my resting place?

This sky above, this earth below,
Without you, nothing starts to grow.
From my breath, a moment borrow,
One does not depart, nor from sorrow
Take me with you, if you must go,
To the place where your spirit will flow.
How can I live without your light?
How can I breathe, bereft of sight?
How can I live without your grace?
How can I find my resting place?
