apni tasvir se kah do hame dekha naa kare
apni tasvir se kah do hame dekha naa kare
ham tamaasha nahi
ham tamaasha nahi ham se yeh tamaasha naa kare
apni tasvir se kah do hame dekha naa kare

dekhne waalo se kahti hai ki ham marte hain
dekhne waalo se kahti hai ki ham marte hain
payar karna hai, aji ha

ham tamaasha nahi
ham tamaasha nahi ham se yeh tamaasha naa kare
apni tasvir se kah do hame dekha naa kare

saath jaati hai najar is ki jidhar jaate hain
saath jaati hai najar ho
saath jaati hai najar is ki jidhar jaate hain
saath jaati hai najar is ki jidhar jaate hain
tirchhi najaro se, aji ha
tirchhi najaro se hame dekh ke chheda naa kare

apni tasvir se kah do hame dekha naa kare

jate jate kabhi ho
jate jate kabhi dekhe toh hame kahti hai
ate jate kabhi dekhe toh hame kahti hai
bin bulaye koyi, aji han
bin bulaye koyi aankho me samaya naa kare
ham tamaasha nahi
ham tamaasha nahi ham se yeh tamaasha naa kare
apni tasvir se kah do hame dekha naa kare

Tell the image, cease its gaze,
Tell the image, cease its gaze.
We are not spectacle,
We are not spectacle, let no spectacle be made.
Tell the image, cease its gaze.

To those who watch, it whispers we are dying,
To those who watch, it whispers we are dying.
If love you seek, ah yes,
If love you seek, then speak no word of love.
We are not spectacle,
We are not spectacle, let no spectacle be made.
Tell the image, cease its gaze.

Wherever we turn, its eyes follow,
Wherever we turn, its eyes follow.
With sideways glances, ah yes,
With sideways glances, do not tease with your gaze.
We are not spectacle,
We are not spectacle, let no spectacle be made.
Tell the image, cease its gaze.

As it departs, it sees us,
As it departs, it sees us and it speaks,
Unbidden guest, ah yes,
Unbidden guest, enter not into the eyes.
We are not spectacle,
We are not spectacle, let no spectacle be made.
Tell the image, cease its gaze.
