kyun, kyun
wo raaton se nindein churaati hai kyun, kyun, kyun
meri tanhaayi ko phir jalaati hai kyun, kyun, kyun
kyun haan kyun
wo raaton se nindein churaati hai kyun
meri tanhaayi ko phir jalaati hai kyun
kab tak chhupaau main dil ki ye baat
kab tak chhupaau main dil ki ye baat
wo aankhon se kaajal churaati hai kyun
kyun

jalta main hoon tanha vo
kyun hota ye pyaar yo
jalta main hoon tanha vo
kyun hota ye pyaar yo
usko ham bhi hai laajami, dard apna kisse kahu
kyun

sard aandhiyo si hai viraanagi
har pal mujhko dhundein hai kyun
sard aandhiyo si hai viraanagi
har pal mujhko dhundein hai kyun
yun to hai sab kuchh tere pass
phir bhi ye dil hai udaas kyun

kyun wo raaton se nindein churaati hai kyun
meri tanhaayi ko phir jalaati hai kyun
kab tak chhupaau main dil ki ye baat
wo aankhon se kaajal churaati hai kyun
wo raaton se nindein churaati hai kyun

Why, oh why,
Do they steal sleep from the nights, oh why, oh why?
Why do they ignite my solitude again, oh why, oh why?
Why, yes, why?
They steal sleep from the nights,
Igniting my solitude anew.
How long can I conceal the heart's secret?
How long can I conceal the heart's secret?
Why do they steal kohl from the eyes, why?

I burn alone, while she...
Why does love unfold this way?
I burn alone, while she...
Why does love unfold this way?
She is essential to us, too, whose pain shall I confess?
Why?

Barren desolation from the icy winds,
Why does it seek me every moment?
Barren desolation from the icy winds,
Why does it seek me every moment?
You possess everything, it is true,
Yet why is this heart so forlorn?

Why do they steal sleep from the nights, oh why?
They ignite my solitude again.
How long can I conceal the heart's secret?
Why do they steal kohl from the eyes?
They steal sleep from the nights, oh why?
