sach kahun toh honth jalte mere
chup rahun toh saans hi na aaye
mushqil hai bahut hi
ab chhupana ya batana

zyada paas aana
hai asal mein door jaana
mere saath mere
zakhm bhi hain dard bhi hain
jinse hai bigadta
jo bhi chaahun main banana
mujhe nazdeeqiyon se meri
yeh dooriyan...
yeh dooriyan...

na shikaayat hai tujhe
shikaayat na mujhe
magar doori hai
kya bhala roke humein
badhe na kyun kadam
agar doori hai

poochun tere baare
chadhte din se shaam se bhi
na hai chain teri yaad se bhi
naam se bhi
aisa kyun hua hai
yeh pata hai jaante hain
tujhse bhi muhabbat
hai muhabbat kaam se bhi
yunhi nazdeekiyon mein rahi
yeh dooriyan...
yeh dooriyan...
yeh dooriyan...
yeh dooriyan...

These distances, these distances, these distances,
The distances of these paths,
The distances of these gazes,
The distances of our companions,
May all distances perish.

Why is someone near, yet far?
No one knows here.
Am I drawing near, or drifting away?
I don't know where I am.
These distances, the distances of these paths,
The distances of these gazes, the distances of our companions,
May all distances perish.
These distances, these distances, has it ever been,
That even on empty paths, you were with me?

Sometimes, returning after meeting you,
My heart felt empty, empty hands.
This also happened, as it happens now,
I found you in all things.
Your distances make me,
They torment me, they make me yearn,
May all distances perish.
I didn't even say,
I don't want to live if I don't get you.
Even by mistake,
I didn't say, I want this distance too.

Just let the distance remain, becoming an ache that says,
"May this desire grow young."
Yours and mine will vanish, these distances,
They are alien, these distances will depart,
May all distances perish.
Why is someone near,
Yet far? No one knows here.
Am I drawing near, or drifting away?
I don't know where I am.
These distances, the distances of these paths,
The distances of these gazes, the distances of our companions,
May all distances perish.
These distances, these distances, these distances.
