tu dhokha hai gumrah akela
tu dard hai ya koi ghaav gehra
tu parchhayee behti hawa ki
dhalta sooraj ya ghor andhera

teri kahani ankahi, jaise patte murjhaye se
toh ruk ja tu kahi, tu behta kyu hai aise
jaise behti bunden, behta aise
behti bunden

aankhen khuli, khwabon se
aur bikhre taare, aangan me
koi savera, chhupa hai
jaise andhera, raaton me

teri kahani ankahi, jaise patte murjhaye se
toh ruk ja tu kahi, tu behta kyu hai aise
jaise behti bunden, behta aise
behti bunden

teri yaadein khoyi nahi
aur saari baaten khoyi nahi
aur saare taare tere liye hai
aur saare baadal bhi tere liye!

You are deceit, a lone wanderer lost,
a wound that bleeds, a depth of cost.
A shadow you are, of fleeting breeze,
a setting sun, or dark, concealing trees.

Your story untold, like withered leaves,
Oh, Soul, where do you roam, why does your river grieve?
Like falling rain, you ebb and flow,
the falling rain.

Eyes awake with dreams untold,
scattered stars in courtyards old.
A dawn concealed, a hidden light,
as darkness sleeps in silent night.

Your story untold, like withered leaves,
Oh, Soul, where do you roam, why does your river grieve?
Like falling rain, you ebb and flow,
the falling rain.

Your memories, they are not lost,
nor all the words, at any cost.
All the stars, for you they gleam,
all the clouds, they weave your dream.
