aansu samajh ke kyu mujhe aankh se tumne gira diya
moti kisi ke pyar ka mitti me kyu mila diya
aansu samajh ke kyu mujhe
jo na chaman me khil saka main wo garib phul hu
jo na chaman me khil saka main wo garib phul hu
jo kuch bhi hu bahar ki chhoti si ek bhul hu
jisne khila ke khud mujhe khud hi mujhe bhula diya
aansu samajh ke kyu mujhe aankh se tumne gira diya
aansu samajh ke kyu mujhe

meri khata maf main bhule se aa gya yaha
meri khata maf main bhule se aa gya yaha
warna mujhe bhi hai khabar mera nahi hai ye jahan
dur chala tha nind me achha kiya jaga diya
aansu samajh ke kyu mujhe aankh se tumne gira diya
moti kisi ke pyar ka mitti me kyu mila diya
aansu samajh ke kyu mujhe

Why, mistook as tears, did you cast me down?
Why, a pearl of love, did you crush in the ground?
Why, mistook as tears, did you cast me down?

A humble bloom, unblossomed in the spring,
A fleeting error that the breezes bring.
I am that bloom, a fragile, fading thing,
That you nurtured, then forgot, all around.
Why, mistook as tears, did you cast me down?
Why, mistook as tears...

Forgive my fault, a trespass in the breeze,
Forgive my fault, a wandering ease.
I know this world is not my destined seas,
You did well to wake me, from dreams profound.
Why, mistook as tears, did you cast me down?
Why, a pearl of love, did you crush in the ground?
Why, mistook as tears...
