ye khamoshi kyu ye madhoshi kyu
ye khamoshi kyu ye madhoshi kyu
ye khamoshi kyu
abhi to shama nachegi abhi to rat baki hai
abhi se berukhi kaisi abhi to bat baki hai
ye khamoshi kyu ye madhoshi kyu
ye khamoshi kyu ye madhoshi kyu

nigaho ko kam se kam nazare chumne do
chirago ko kam se kam zara sa jhumne do
abhi to bazi lagni hai abhi to mat baki hai
abhi se berukhi kaisi abhi to bat baki hai
ye khamoshi kyu ye madhoshi kyu
ye khamoshi kyu ye madhoshi kyu

musafir ab chala chal nazar tujh par zami hai
barsne ko hai badal hawao me nami hai
lahu se tar badar dil me humare zazbat baki hai
abhi se berukhi kaisi abhi to bat baki hai
ye khamoshi kyu ye madhoshi kyu
ye khamoshi kyu ye madhoshi kyu

ye khamoshi kyu
abhi to shama nachegi abhi to rat baki hai
abhi se berukhi kaisi abhi to bat baki hai
ye khamoshi kyu ye madhoshi kyu
ye khamoshi kyu ye madhoshi kyu

Why this silence, why this daze?
Why this silence, why this daze?
Why this silence?

The candle yet to dance, the night still young,
Why this cold shoulder, when the song's unsung?
Why this silence, why this daze?
Why this silence, why this daze?

Let eyes at least, the spectacle embrace,
Let lamps at least, a little sway with grace.
The game's afoot, the checkmate far away,
Why this cold shoulder, when the dawn won't stay?
Why this silence, why this daze?
Why this silence, why this daze?

O traveler, onward, gaze fixed on the way,
The clouds prepare to burst, the winds hold sway,
Our hearts, with blood, the passions overflow,
Why this cold shoulder, when the seeds yet grow?
Why this silence, why this daze?
Why this silence, why this daze?

Why this silence?
The candle yet to dance, the night still young,
Why this cold shoulder, when the song's unsung?
Why this silence, why this daze?
Why this silence, why this daze?
