usaki mehfil me jake dekh liya
apna sab kuchh lutake dekh liya
lakh samjhaya par na samjhega
dil ko phir aajmake dekh liya

pathhar kaha gaya, kabhi shisha kaha gaya
pathhar kaha gaya, kabhi shisha kaha gaya

shero me usake husn ko kya kya kaha gaya

socho toh yeh bhi ek kafas hi toh hai jise

I went to her gathering, I saw it all,
I spent everything, watched my world fall.
I tried to reason, it wouldn't heed,
The heart I tested, a planted seed.

Called a stone, then a mirror's gleam,
Called a stone, then a mirror's dream,
What names they gave that heart within,
Called a stone, then a mirror's skin.

In verses, her beauty, a whispered art,
In verses, her beauty, a beating heart,
Clouds for tresses, a flower's face,
Clouds for tresses, time and space,
What names they gave that heart within,
Called a stone, then a mirror's skin.

Consider this, a cage of sorts, you see,
Consider this, a cage, wild and free,
In cultured tongues, a room it's named,
In cultured tongues, the spirit claimed,
What names they gave that heart within,
Called a stone, then a mirror's skin.

A truth beyond control, a whispered plea,
A truth beyond control, destined to be,
How beautifully they called it desire,
How beautifully, the heart's own fire,
What names they gave that heart within,
Called a stone, then a mirror's skin.

Astonished, in her love, the outcast found,
Astonished, in her love, where sins abound,
To me, a sinner, "mine" she said,
To me, a sinner, gently led,
What names they gave that heart within,
Called a stone, then a mirror's skin.
What names they gave that heart within,
Called a stone, then a mirror's skin.
Called a stone, then a mirror's skin.
