pahle jaisi subah nahi
wo pahle jaisi shaam nahi
ye ghar to hai wahi magar
is ghar ka ab ghar naam nahi
kabhi kabhi mai sochu
kabhi kabhi mai sochu, virana kaisa hoga
viraan mere dil jaisa hoga, aur kaisa hoga
kabhi kabhi main sochu

kya socha, kya hua
mera sundar sapna toot gaya
mera sundar sapna toot gaya
pahle ek gaya
ab dooja beta maa se ruth gaya
kabhi kabhi mai sochu
kabhi kabhi mai sochu, ye narak kaisa hoga
narak mere ghar jaisa hoga, aur kaisa hoga
kabhi kabhi mai sochu

The dawn, it is not as it was before,
Nor twilight's hush, the same it was of yore.
The house remains, the structure stands, it's true,
But home, it's not; its essence, askew.
Sometimes I ponder, and my spirit yearns,
Sometimes I wonder, how desolation burns.
Like a wasteland, my heart, a barren scene,
How else could it be, this desolate keen?
Sometimes I ponder.

What was conceived, and what did come to pass,
My beautiful dream, shattered like broken glass.
My beautiful dream, in pieces now it lies,
First one departed, beneath the weeping skies.
Now a second son, from mother's grace withdrawn,
A fractured bond, the love so dearly born.
Sometimes I ponder, and my soul takes flight,
Sometimes I wonder, how hell's consuming night.
Hell, my home's echo, a mirrored dark design,
How else could it be, this torment, so divine?
Sometimes I ponder.
