woh kya the aur humne unhe kya samjh liya
woh kya the aur humne unhe kya samjh liya
patthar ke but ko kaise devta samjh liya
woh kya the aur humne unhe kya samjh liya
woh kya the aur humne unhe kya samjh liya

unko to dil se yuhi khelna tha chand roj
unko to dil se yuhi khelna tha chand roj
humne tamam umr ka rishta samjh liya
woh kya the aur humne unhe kya samjh liya
woh kya the aur humne unhe kya samjh liya

humne suna tha chehra ye dil ki kitab hai
humne suna tha chehra ye dil ki kitab hai
matlab har ek lafz ka ulta samjh liya
woh kya the aur humne unhe kya samjh liya
woh kya the aur humne unhe kya samjh liya

sab kuch luta ke dil ko ye ruswaiya mili
sab kuch luta ke dil ko ye ruswaiya mili
humne inhe bhi pyar ka tohfa samjh liya
woh kya the aur humne unhe kya samjh liya
patthar ke but ko kaise devta samjh liya
woh kya the aur humne unhe kya samjh liya
woh kya the aur humne unhe kya samjh liya

Who were they, that we mistook them so?
Who were they, and how did we not know?
A stone idol, we crowned it a god, you see,
Who were they, and how did we not agree?
Who were they, and how did we not see?

They came to play, a fleeting, tender game,
They came to play, a whisper of a name,
But we, we built a fortress, stone by stone,
Who were they, and how had we been flown?
Who were they, and how had we been shown?

They say the face, a book where hearts reside,
They say the face, where truths cannot hide,
Yet every word, we read it all in vain,
Who were they, and how could we be slain?
Who were they, and how could we remain?

We gave our all, and shame was our reward,
We gave our all, and silence we adored,
And even this, this bitter, stinging blow,
Who were they, that we could not let go?
A stone idol, we crowned it a god, you know,
Who were they, and how did we not know?
Who were they, and how did we not bestow?
