aankh na milti, paas na aate
chahat ka ijhaar na hota
kash ye pyaar na hota
kash ye pyaar na hota
kash ye pyaar na hota

aankh na milti, paas na aate
chahat ka ijhaar na hota
kash ye pyaar na hota
kash ye pyaar na hota
kash ye pyaar na hota

raah paraayi jo apnayi
dur huyi apani manjil
aaya wo tufaan ke jisame
dub gaya dil ka saahil
bhul na hoti, hamse jo aisi
jivan ek majhdhaar na hota
kaash ye pyaar na hota
kaash ye pyaar na hota
kaash ye pyaar na hota

ashqo se jo mit na paaye
daaman par woh dag laga
hamko kitni der me sabkuch
khone ka ehsaas huwa
pachtaave ki aag na jalati
sine me armaan na hota
kaash ye pyaar na hota
kaash ye pyaar na hota
kaash ye pyaar na hota
aankh na milti, paas na aate
chaahat kaa ijhaar na hota
kaash ye pyaar na hota
kaash ye pyaar na hota
kaash ye pyaar na hota

Eyes unlinked, no nearness found,
No whispers of desire unbound.
If only love had not begun,
If only love had not been spun.
If only love had not begun.

Eyes unlinked, no nearness found,
No whispers of desire unbound.
If only love had not begun,
If only love had not been spun.
If only love had not begun.

A borrowed path, a chosen plight,
Distant shores, lost to the light.
A storm descended, fierce and deep,
Where heart’s own coast began to sleep.
Had folly not ensnared our way,
Life’s current would not lead astray.
If only love had not begun,
If only love had not been spun.
If only love had not begun.

Tears that fall, yet cannot erase,
Stains that cling to time and space.
The late awakening, slow and vast,
To all we’d lost, forever passed.
If burning regret had not been born,
Aching dreams would not have torn.
If only love had not begun,
If only love had not been spun.
If only love had not begun.

Eyes unlinked, no nearness found,
No whispers of desire unbound.
If only love had not begun,
If only love had not been spun.
If only love had not begun.
