aisa to hota nahi hai
aisa to hota nahi hai
sapno se chalta hua
koi aa jaaye apna
sapno se chalta hua
koi aa jaaye apna
aisa to hota nahi hai

kal raat se khushbu
aankho me thehari hui hai
sapne si rakhi hui ho
aur dhoop pehne hui hai
sabze me lipta hua
koi aa jaaye apna
sabze me lipta hua
koi aa jaaye apna
aisa to hota nahi hai

champa se tum tumse champa
phulo se dhokha hua hai
ye tum ho ya shaama jala kar
koi lau dheemi rakh gaya hai
ek lau sa jalta hua
koi aa jaaye apna
ek lau sa jalta hua
koi aa jaaye apna
aisa to hota nahi hai
aisa to hota nahi hai.

It doesn't happen this way,
it simply doesn't.
That from dreams' pathways,
one's own should arrive.
That from dreams' pathways,
one's own should arrive.
It doesn't happen this way.

Since last night, fragrance,
lingers in the eyes.
Like dreams preserved,
and draped in sunlight.
Wrapped in verdant hues,
one's own should arrive.
Wrapped in verdant hues,
one's own should arrive.
It doesn't happen this way.

From Champak, you, from you, Champak,
flowers have betrayed.
Is it you, or lighting a candle,
has someone dimmed the flame?
Burning like a single flame,
one's own should arrive.
Burning like a single flame,
one's own should arrive.
It doesn't happen this way,
it simply doesn't.
