na idhar dekhna na udhar dekhna
kya ishara kare ye najar dekhna
dekhna kya hota hai
dekhta kya hota hai
dekhta kya hota hai

kaun jane ki kya hona hai
muskurana hai ki rona hai
aaj ki sab soch le ye tu
jagna hai ke bas sona hai
aag lag jaye na bekhabar dekhna
dekhna kya hota hai
dekhta kya hota hai
dekhta kya hota hai
na idhar dekhna na udhar dekhna
kya ishara karegi najar dekhna
dekhna kya hota hai
dekhna kya hota hai
dekhna kya hota hai

hamne mana ke sau pahre hai
ye andhere bade gahre hai
samne tez aaftaabo ki
ye andhere kabhi thahre hai
muskuraake rahegi sehar dekhna
dekhna kya hota hai
dekhta kya hota hai
dekhna kya hota hai
na idhar dekhna na udhar dekhna
kya ishara karegi najar dekhna
dekhna kya hota hai
dekhna kya hota hai
dekhna kya hota hai

aasma se khabar aayi hai
ke kayamat idhar aayi hai
sab gunehgar kaanp uthe hai yun
maut shayad najar aayi hai
mai jidhar dekhu sare udhar dekhna
dekhna kya hota hai
dekhna kya hota hai
dekhna kya hota hai
na idhar dekhna na udhar dekhna
kya ishara karegi najar dekhna
dekhna kya hota hai
dekhna kya hota hai
dekhna kya hota hai

Do not look left, do not look right,
What whisper does the gaze invite?
To see, what is this act we take,
To see, for what our spirits ache,
To see, what paths our souls forsake?

Who knows what fate holds in its keep,
To laugh, or to succumb and weep?
Consider all of this today,
To wake, or simply drift to sleep?
Let not the fire consume, unaware, to seek,
To see, what is this act we take,
To see, for what our spirits ache,
To see, what paths our souls forsake?
Do not look left, do not look right,
What whisper does the gaze invite?
To see, what is this act we take,
To see, for what our spirits ache,
To see, what paths our souls forsake?

We know the guards, a hundred strong,
These shadows, where we don't belong,
Before the sun's bright, burning face,
These shadows never stand for long.
The dawn will smile, its visage sweet, to peek,
To see, what is this act we take,
To see, for what our spirits ache,
To see, what paths our souls forsake?
Do not look left, do not look right,
What whisper does the gaze invite?
To see, what is this act we take,
To see, for what our spirits ache,
To see, what paths our souls forsake?

A message from the sky descends,
The day of reckoning now extends,
Each sinner trembles in its fear,
As death itself now apprehends.
Where I look now, all follow, to sleek,
To see, what is this act we take,
To see, for what our spirits ache,
To see, what paths our souls forsake?
Do not look left, do not look right,
What whisper does the gaze invite?
To see, what is this act we take,
To see, for what our spirits ache,
To see, what paths our souls forsake?
