dard apnaataa hai paraaye kaun
dard apnaataa hai paraaye kaun
kaun sunta hai aur sunaye kaun
dard apnaataa hai paraaye kaun

kaun dohraaye purani baaten
kaun dohraaye purani baaten
gam abhi soya hai jagaye kaun
gam abhi soya hai jagaye kaun
gam abhi soya hai jagaye kaun

wo jo apne hain kya wo apne hain
wo jo apne hain kya wo apne hain
kaun dukh jhele aazmaye kaun
kaun dukh jhele aazmaye kaun
kaun dukh jhele aazmaye kaun

ab sukun hai tu bhulne me hai
ab sukun hai tu bhulne me hai
lekin us shakhas ko bhulaye kaun
lekin us shakhas ko bhulaye kaun
dard apnaata hai paraaye kaun

aaj phir dil hai kuch udaas udaas
aaj phir dil hai kuch udaas udaas
dekhiye aaj yaad aaye kaun
dekhiye aaj yaad aaye kaun
dard apnaataa hai paraaye kaun
kaun sunta hai aur sunaye kaun

Who embraces pain, who claims it as their own?
Who listens, and to whom can one be known?
Who embraces pain, who claims it as their own?

Who will repeat the tales of yesterday?
Who will retell the stories, come what may?
Sorrow sleeps now, who will dare to wake?
Sorrow sleeps now, for whose weary sake?
Sorrow sleeps now, who will dare to wake?

Those we call our own, are they truly near?
Those we call our own, do they truly hear?
Who will endure the suffering, and test the fear?
Who will endure, and make the truth appear?
Who will endure, and make the truth appear?

Now peace resides in forgetting's hold,
Now peace resides, as stories start to fold.
But of that heart, that soul of old,
But of that heart, that soul to now behold,
Who can forget, who can let go?
Who embraces pain, who claims it as their own?

Again today, my heart feels somber, deep,
Again today, these shadows softly creep.
Behold, today, whose memory to keep?
Behold, today, while silent sorrows weep?
Who embraces pain, who claims it as their own?
Who listens, and to whom can one be known?
