khushiya aur gum sehti hai phir bhi ye chup rehti hai
ab tak kisi ne na jana zindagi kya kahti hai
khushiya aur gum sehti hai phir bhi ye chup rehti hai
ab tak kisi ne na jana zindagi kya kahti hai
apni kabhi to kabhi ajanabi
aasu kabhi to kabhi hai hasi
darya kabhi to kabhi tishnegi lagti hai ye to
khushiya aur gum sehti hai phir bhi ye chup rehti hai
ab tak kisi ne na jana zindagi kya kahti hai

khamoshiyo ki dhimi sada hai
ye zindagi to rab ki dua hai
chu ke kisi ne isko dekha kabhi na
ehsas ki hai khushbhu mehki hawa hai
khushiya aur gum sehti hai phir bhi ye chup rehti hai
ab tak kisi ne na jana zindagi kya kahti hai

mann se kaho tum, mann ki suno tum
mann meet koi mann ka chuno tum
kuch bhi kahegi duniya, duniya ki chodo
palko me sajake jhilmil sapne buno tum
khushiya aur gum sehti hai phir bhi ye chup rehti hai
ab tak kisi ne na jana zindagi kya kahti hai
apni kabhi to kabhi ajnabi
aasu kabhi to kabhi hai hasi
darya kabhi to kabhi tishnegi lagti hai ye to
khushiya aur gum sehti hai phir bhi ye chup rehti hai
ab tak kisi ne na jana zindagi kya kahti hai

It bears the weight of joy and sorrow, silent still,
What life whispers, none have ever willed
To truly know. It bears the weight, silent still,
What life whispers, none have ever willed.

A lover, then a stranger in the light,
Tears, then laughter dancing through the night,
A river's flow, then thirst that takes its hold,
It bears the weight of joy and sorrow, silent still,
What life whispers, none have ever willed.

A gentle echo in the hush of days,
Life, a prayer, in countless hidden ways,
None have held it, felt its tender grace,
A scented breeze, of feeling's fragrant space.
It bears the weight of joy and sorrow, silent still,
What life whispers, none have ever willed.

Speak to your heart, and listen to its plea,
Choose a soulmate, let your spirit be
The compass guiding, let the world recede,
Weave shimmering dreams on lashes you decree.
It bears the weight of joy and sorrow, silent still,
What life whispers, none have ever willed.
A lover, then a stranger in the light,
Tears, then laughter dancing through the night,
A river's flow, then thirst that takes its hold,
It bears the weight of joy and sorrow, silent still,
What life whispers, none have ever willed.
