sunne waalo suno aisa bhi hota hai
dil deta hai jo wo jaan bhi khota hai
pyar aisa jo karta hai
kya mar ke bhi marta hai aao tum bhi aaj sunlo
dastan hai ye ki ik tha naujawan jo
dil hi dil me ek hasina ka tha diwana
wo hasina thi ke jiski khubsurati
ka duniya bhar me tha mashahoor afsana
dono ki ye kahani hai jisko sabhi
kehte hai om shanti om

naujawaan ki thi aarjoo, uski thi yehi justjoo
us hasina me usko mile ishq ke saare rango roop
naujawaan ki thi aarjoo, uski thi yehi justjoo
us hasina me usko mile ishq ke saare rango roop
usne na jaane yeh nadani hai
woh ret ko samajha ke paani hai
kyun aisa tha kis liye tha, yeh kahaani hai
daastaan hai yeh ke uss dilkash hassena ke
nigaahon dil me koi dusara hi tha
bekhar iss baat se uss naujawaan
ke khaabo ka anjaam toh hona bura hi tha
tute khaabo ki uss daastaan ko sabhi
kehte hai om shaanti om

sunne waalo suno aisa bhi hota hai
koi jitna hase utna hi rota hai
deewaani hoke hasina khaayi kya dhokhe haseena
aao tum bhi aaj sunlo
daastaan hai yeh ki uss maasoom haseena ne
jise chaaha vo tha undar se harjaayi
sangdil se dil lagaake, bewafa ke haath aake
usne ik din maut hi paayi
ik sitam ka fasaana hai jisko sabhi
kehte hai om shaanti om

kyun koi katil samajhata nahi
yeh julm wo hai jo jhukata nahi
yeh daag woh hai jo mitta nahi
rehta hai khuni ke haath par
khun uss haseena ka jab tha huva
koi waha tha pahunch toh gaya
lekin use wo bacha na saka
roya tha pyaar uske maut par
daastaan hai yeh ki jo pehchaanata hai
khuni ko woh naujawaan hai laut ke aaya
keh rahi hai jindagi katil samajhale
uske sar pe chha chuka hai maut ka saaya
janmo ki karmo ki hai kahaani jise
kehte hai om shaanti om
kehte hai om shaanti om
kehte hai om shaanti om

Hearken, listeners, a truth unfolds,
The heart that gives, its life it sells.
Love's embrace, a burning pyre,
Does it die even in death's desire?
Come, listen now, and you shall know,
A tale of youth, a heart aglow.

A youth there was, his spirit bound,
To beauty's grace, where love was found.
A maiden fair, of such renown,
Her loveliness, a world's crown.
Their story weaves, a tragic thread,
"Om Shanti Om," the words are said.

His yearning soul, his fervent plea,
To find in her, his ecstasy.
His yearning soul, his fervent plea,
To find in her, love's artistry.
A foolish whim, a blinded quest,
Mistook the sand for water's breast.
Why this desire, this fateful plight?
A tale of shadows, veiled in night.
For in her heart, another's gaze,
Unknowing, he lost in life's maze.
His dreams would shatter, break and fall,
"Om Shanti Om," the echoes call.

Hearken, listeners, a truth revealed,
The more one laughs, the more is sealed,
The tears that fall. Betrayed, she'd reel,
From love's illusion, bitter steel.
Come, hear the tale, her tragic strain,
The maiden pure, in love's cruel chain.
He, the beloved, with heart untrue,
A cruel deceiver, through and through.
With heart of stone, her love she gave,
And death's cold hand, her soul did crave.
A tale of pain, a mournful sigh,
"Om Shanti Om," as moments die.

Why cannot killers understand?
This cruelty, by fate is planned.
A stain remains, it will not fade,
Upon the murderer, blood is laid.
When her life's blood, the crimson flowed,
He came too late, his heart bestowed,
With grief and tears, he could not save,
He wept for love, beside the grave.
A tale unfolds, he knew the fiend,
The youth returned, his spirit keen.
Life whispers now, "Beware, you see,
Death's shadow falls, eternally."
Of karmic debts, a lifetime's sum,
"Om Shanti Om," forever come.
"Om Shanti Om," the echoes ring.
"Om Shanti Om," the sorrows sing.
