baat ye kya hai jo baat hi rah gayi
labh hile the magar honto pe ruk gayi
ajib hai yeh kashmakash ki chup rahu nya bol dun
tumhi kaho yeh raaz-e-dil chupau main ya khol dun

socha tha rok kar tumko us mod par haal kar dunga baya
samne jo aaye tum ho gaya hosh gum chup rahe bebas zuba
main yahan besabar, tum wahan bekhabar kab talak ye fasle
kash ho aisa kabhi padh lo tum ankhe meri bat kuch aage chale

baat ye kya hai jo baat hi rah gayi
labh hile the magar honto pe ruk gayi
ajib hai yeh kashmakash ki chup rahun ya bol dun
tumhi kaho yeh raaz-e-dil chupau main ya khol

What is this, a truth left unspoken?
Lips trembled, yet the words broke not free,
A strange, deep conflict: silence, or declaration?
Tell me, should I conceal this heart's secret, or set it free?

I planned to stop you, at that turning, to tell you my plight,
But when you appeared, my senses fled, grief held my tongue,
Helpless speech.
I, impatient here, you unaware there, how long will these distances remain?
Oh, that a day may come, when you read my eyes, and the tale moves forward.

What is this, a truth left unspoken?
Lips trembled, yet the words broke not free,
A strange, deep conflict: silence, or declaration?
Tell me, should I conceal this heart's secret, or set it free?
