tanha main akeli ji rahi thi subah tak
mujhe ehsaas jiska kuch bhi nahi tha subah tak
nahi is sune dil me koi nahi tha subah tak
nagma hontho pe mere koi nahi tha subah tak
koi hai, ban ke jo saaya sang hota hai
daaman se mere lipatta hai
khaamoshi me kuch kahta hai
koi hai, ban ke jo saaya sang hota hai
daaman se mere lipatta hai
khaamoshi me kuch kahta hai

tanha main akeli ji rahi thi subah tak
mujhe ehsaas jiska kuch bhi nahi tha subah tak

pahro katenge khyaalo me, kisi ke ab shaayad
chup-chup gup-chup hum bhi rahenge ab shaayad
khidki se lag ke raate ye, katengi ab shaayad
ninde humari dushman banengi ab shaayad
umang aisi to dil me jaagi nahi thi subah tak
tarang yun tan badan me uthi nahi thi subah tak
nahi is sune dil me koi nahi tha subah tak
nagma hontho pe mere koi nahi tha subah tak
koi hai, ban ke jo saaya sang hota hai
daaman se mere lipatta hai
khaamoshi me kuch kahta hai
koi hai, ban ke jo saaya sang hota hai
daaman se mere lipatta hai
khaamoshi me kuch kahta hai

shaayad umr vo kahte hai jisko jawani sab
aai hai mujhpe mahsus hone laga hai ab
anjaani raahe pahchaani lagne lagi hai ab
begaani surat apni si lagne lagi hai ab
rishta naya kisi se dil ka nahi tha subah tak
juba par kisi ka naam nahi tha subah tak
nahi is sune dil me koi nahi tha subah tak
nagma hontho pe mere koi nahi tha subah tak
koi hai, ban ke jo saaya sang hota hai
daaman se mere lipatta hai
khaamoshi me kuch kahta hai
koi hai, ban ke jo saaya sang hota hai
daaman se mere lipatta hai
khaamoshi me kuch kahta hai

Alone I dwelled, until the dawn arrived,
Unknowing of a presence, till the dawn.
No one resided in my heart, deprived,
No song upon my lips, until the dawn.

There is one, a shadow that walks with me,
Clinging to the hem of my despair,
Speaking softly in immensity,
There is one, a shadow that walks with me,
Clinging to the hem of my despair,
Speaking softly in the silent air.
Alone I dwelled, until the dawn arrived,
Unknowing of a presence, till the dawn.

Hours will be spent in thought, perhaps, of one,
Secretly, we too will now abide,
Leaning at the window when day is done,
Our slumbers now as foes we must confide.
Such joy within my heart had never sprung,
Such currents in my being had not flown,
No one resided in my heart, unsung,
No song upon my lips, until the dawn.
There is one, a shadow that walks with me,
Clinging to the hem of my despair,
Speaking softly in immensity,
There is one, a shadow that walks with me,
Clinging to the hem of my despair,
Speaking softly in the silent air.

Perhaps they call it youth, this vibrant age,
Has come to me, a feeling I embrace.
Unfamiliar paths now start to engage,
A stranger's face reflects my own true space.
No heart's new bond existed, till the dawn,
No name was whispered on my tongue before,
No one resided in my heart, forlorn,
No song upon my lips, until the dawn.
There is one, a shadow that walks with me,
Clinging to the hem of my despair,
Speaking softly in immensity,
There is one, a shadow that walks with me,
Clinging to the hem of my despair,
Speaking softly in the silent air.
