naa socha tha yeh, naa socha tha yeh
dil lagane se pehle, dil lagane se pehle
ke tutega dil, ke tutega dil
muskuraane se pehle, muskuraane se pehle

ummido kaa suraj, ummido kaa suraj
naa chamka naa duba, naa chamka naa duba
gahan pad gaya, gahan pad gaya
jagmagane se pehle, jagmagane se pehle
naa socha tha yeh, naa socha tha yeh
dil lagane se pehle, dil lagane se pehle

agar gam uthana, agar gam uthana
tha kismat me apni, tha kismat me apni
kushi kyon mili, kushi kyon mili
gam uthaane se pehle, gam uthaane se pehle
naa socha tha yeh, naa socha tha yeh
dil lagane se pehle, dil lagane se pehle

kaho bijaliyo se, kaho bijaliyo se
naa dil ko jalaaye, naa dil ko jalaaye
mujhe phoonk de, mujhe phoonk de
ghar jalane se pehle, ghar jalane se pehle
naa socha tha yeh, naa socha tha yeh
dil lagane se pehle, dil lagane se pehle

Unbidden thought, unbidden thought,
Before the heart took hold, before the heart took hold,
That it would shatter so, that it would shatter so,
Before a smile was known, before a smile was known.

The sun of hope, the sun of hope,
Ne'er shone, nor set, ne'er shone, nor set,
Darkness fell profound, darkness fell profound,
Before it could ignite, before it could ignite.
Unbidden thought, unbidden thought,
Before the heart took hold, before the heart took hold.

If grief was fated, if grief was fated,
To be my sole companion, to be my sole companion,
Why offer joy, why offer joy,
Before grief took its hold, before grief took its hold?
Unbidden thought, unbidden thought,
Before the heart took hold, before the heart took hold.

Tell the lightnings, tell the lightnings,
Do not sear my soul, do not sear my soul,
Consume me to ash, consume me to ash,
Before the house is burned, before the house is burned.
Unbidden thought, unbidden thought,
Before the heart took hold, before the heart took hold.
