ye kaisa naya saal
dil ka wahi bura haal
saanson mein hai uljhane bhi
chehre pe hai wahi sawaal
ye kaisa naya saal
dil ka wahi bura haal

bechain hai pyasi najar
raahon mein chhaya dhua hai
din raat dil dhoondhe jise
manzil wo jaane kahaan hai
saanson mein hai uljhan bhi
chehre pe hai wahi sawaal
ye kaisa naya saal
dil ka wahi bura haal

chaha to tha socha to tha
hoga milan ka savera
sooraj naya aaya magar
laya naa paigam tera
saanson mein hai uljhane bhi
chehre pe hai wahi sawaal
ye kaisa naya saal
dil ka wahi bura haal
saanson mein hai uljhane bhi
chehre pe hai wahi sawaal
ye kaisa naya saal
dil ka wahi bura haal

A New Year dawns, yet still,
The heart's plight remains, a bitter chill.
In breaths, a tangled, woven maze,
On faces, the same questioning gaze.
A New Year dawns, yet still,
The heart's plight remains, a bitter chill.

Restless, thirsty eyes now roam,
Through pathways veiled in smoky loam.
The heart, by day and night, does yearn,
For a destination it cannot discern.
In breaths, a tangled, woven maze,
On faces, the same questioning gaze.
A New Year dawns, yet still,
The heart's plight remains, a bitter chill.

We wished, we dreamt, the dawn would bloom,
With union’s light, dispelling gloom.
The sun arose, a brand new gleam,
But brought no message, no hopeful dream.
In breaths, a tangled, woven maze,
On faces, the same questioning gaze.
A New Year dawns, yet still,
The heart's plight remains, a bitter chill.
In breaths, a tangled, woven maze,
On faces, the same questioning gaze.
A New Year dawns, yet still,
The heart's plight remains, a bitter chill.
