kitni baate yad aati hai, tasvire si ban jaati hai
main kaise inhe bhulu, dil ko kya samjhaau
kitni baate kehne ki hai, hontho par jo sehmi si hai
ik roj inhe sun lo, kyun aise gum sum ho
kyun puri ho naa payi dastan
kaise aayi hai aisi duriya

dono ke dilo me saval hai, phir bhi hai khamoshi
vo kaun hai kiska doshi, koi kya kahe
kaisi uljhno ki yeh jaal hai, jinme uljhe hai dil
ab hona hai kya hasil, koi kya kahe
dil ki hai kaisi majburiya
khoye the kaise raaho ke nishan
kaise aayi hai aisi duriya

kitni baate kehne ki hai, hontho par jo sehmi si hai
ik roj inhe sun lo, kyun aise gum sum ho
kitni baate yad aati hai, tasvire si ban jaati hai
main kaise inhe bhulu, dil ko kya samjhaau

Memories, like portraits, emerge,
A gallery of what was, a painful surge.
How to forget, this heart I must appease?
A silent plea caught in the weeping trees.

So many words, trembling on the lip,
Waiting to be heard, from a silent grip.
Listen one day, from shadows emerge,
Why this silence, this lonely dirge?
Why did the tale never bloom?
How did these distances loom?

Two hearts entangled, questioning the skies,
Yet silence reigns, behind veiled eyes.
Who is the culprit, who bears the blame?
What is the answer, whispering the same?
A tangled web, a cage of pain,
What is the gain, in this desolate rain?
The heart's plight, an aching plea,
How we lost the paths, and could not see.
How did these distances grow?

So many words, trembling on the lip,
Waiting to be heard, from a silent grip.
Listen one day, from shadows emerge,
Why this silence, this lonely dirge?
Memories, like portraits, emerge,
A gallery of what was, a painful surge.
How to forget, this heart I must appease?
A silent plea caught in the weeping trees.
