abhi se teri aankh kyu bhar aayi hai
abhi to maine kahani aadhi batai hai
abhi se teri jaan pe kyu ban aayi hai
abhi to maine kahani aadhi batai hai
aadhi kahani aadhi baat aadhi batai hai
aadhi kahani aadhi baat aadhi batai hai

chhod gaya aakhir wo bhi jo ek sahara tha
sathi wo mera jo meri jaan se pyaara tha
maine aaj hai ye jaana ke duniya harzaai hai
abhi to maine kahani aadhi batai hai

chhodi thi adhuri jo wo raate baki hai
aaj bhi shayad teri kuch yaad baki hai
chhodi thi adhuri jo wo raate baki hai
aaj bhi shayad teri kuch yaad baki hai
abhi se teri jaan pe kyu ban aayi hai
abhi to maine kahani aadhi batai hai
aadhi kahani aadhi baat aadhi batai hai
aadhi kahani aadhi baat aadhi batai hai
aadhi kahani aadhi baat aadhi batai hai

Why do your eyes well up so soon,
when I've only half unfurled the tune?
Why does your spirit quail and bend,
when half the story has no end?
Half the tale, half the word, half revealed,
Half the tale, half the word, half concealed.

He, who was my anchor, slipped away,
My dearest comrade, gone astray.
I learned the world’s fickle, shifting guise,
when I've only half revealed the skies.

Those nights, begun, yet incomplete, remain,
Perhaps a memory still lives in your brain.
Those nights, begun, yet incomplete, remain,
Perhaps a memory still lives, like rain.
Why does your spirit quail and bend,
when I've only half unfurled the end?
Half the tale, half the word, half revealed,
Half the tale, half the word, half concealed.
Half the tale, half the word, half concealed.
