kaanto se daman uljhana meri aadat hai
kaanto se daman uljhana meri aadat hai
dil me praya dard basana
dil me praya dard basana meri aadat hai
kaanto se daman uljhana meri aadat hai

mera gala agar kat jaye to mujh per kya ilzam
mera gala agar kat jaye to mujh per kya ilzam
har kaatil ko gale lagana
har kaatil ko gale lagana meri aadat hai
kaanto se daman uljhana meri aadat hai

jin ko duniya ne thukraya jin se hai sab dur
jin ko duniya ne thukraya jin se hai sab dur
aise logo ko apnana meri aadat hai
kaanto se daman uljhana meri aadat hai

sab ki baate sun leta hu mein chupchap magar
sab ki baate sun leta hu mein chupchap magar
apne dil ki karte jana
apne dil ki karte jana meri aadat hai
meri aadat hai
dil me praya dard basana
dil me praya dard basana meri aadat hai
kaanto se daman uljhana meri aadat hai
meri aadat hai

To court the thorns, that is my way,
To tangle with their piercing sway.
To harbor pain, a cherished guest,
To hold it close within my breast.
To court the thorns, that is my way.

If blades descend and sever me,
What blame can fall, what misery?
To welcome killers with embrace,
To find a home in their harsh space.
To court the thorns, that is my way.

Those spurned by world, cast far aside,
From whom all others turn and hide,
To gather them, to make them mine,
To let their lonely spirits twine.
To court the thorns, that is my way.

I listen close to all they say,
In silence, bearing every fray,
Yet still to follow heart's decree,
To forge my own reality.
My way it is,
To harbor pain, a cherished guest,
To hold it close within my breast.
To court the thorns, that is my way.
My way it is.
