pahli si tadap pahle si chahat nahi rahi
lekin ye galat hai ke mohabbat nahi rahi
sohrat mili to bach ke gujarne laga hai vo
sayad use humari jarurat nahi rahi

vo mujhko chhod jana chahta hai
vo mujhko chhod jana chahta hai
magar koi bahana chahta hai
vo mujhko chhod jana chahta hai

jise dil ki tarah is dil me rakha
jise dil ki tarah is dil me rakha
vahi ab dil dukhana chahta hai
vahi ab dil dukhana chahta hai
magar koi bahana chahta hai
vo mujhko chhod jana chahta hai

vo apne kah kahe duniya ko dekar
vo apne kah kahe duniya ko dekar
khud apna ghum chupana chahta hai
khud apna ghum chupana chahta hai
magar koi bahana chahta hai
vo mujhko chhod jana chahta hai

mai jiski yaad me duniya ko bhuli
mai jiski yaad me duniya ko bhuli
vahi mujhko bhulana chahta hai
vahi mujhko bhulana chahta hai
magar koi bahana chahta hai
vo mujhko chhod jana chahta hai

use kya dard ka ehsaas shewan
use kya dard ka ehsaas shewan
jo mera dil dukhana chahta hai
jo mera dil dukhana chahta hai
magar koi bahana chahta hai
vo mujhko chhod jana chahta hai
vo mujhko chhod jana chahta hai

The first ache, the first longing, now dimmed,
But to say love has vanished, a lie, it seems.
Fame found him, he veers, avoiding my gaze,
Perhaps my presence, a burden that weighs.

He seeks to leave, his departure desired,
He seeks to leave, a new path acquired.
But a pretext he craves, a reason to flee,
He seeks to leave, and abandon me.

The one I cradled, held within my heart's core,
The one I cradled, forevermore.
Now seeks to wound, to inflict this pain,
Now seeks to wound, in sun and rain.
But a pretext he craves, a reason to flee,
He seeks to leave, and abandon me.

His words, a gift to the world he now gives,
His words, the world he now believes.
While his own sorrow, he hides from view,
While his own sorrow, shining anew.
But a pretext he craves, a reason to flee,
He seeks to leave, and abandon me.

For whom I forgot the world, its embrace,
For whom I forgot, time and space.
He now desires, to forget my name,
He now desires, to extinguish the flame.
But a pretext he craves, a reason to flee,
He seeks to leave, and abandon me.

What does he know of pain, this heart of stone,
What does he know, feeling alone?
Who now desires, my spirit to break,
Who now desires, for goodness sake.
But a pretext he craves, a reason to flee,
He seeks to leave, and abandon me.
He seeks to leave, and abandon me.
