bikhre tute tukde sare jud rahe hai
dhire dhire haule haule
betuke se sur wo sare mil rahe hai
dhire dhire haule haule
aaine ka dhundhla chehra khil raha hai
dhire dhire haule haule

nanhi si ek jaan ne apna bachpan khoya
khauf ki maili chaadar
odh ke soya bebas akela
bezubaan chup chaap roya
barso se ye behte
aansu tham rahe hai
dhire dhire haule haule
khul rahi aankhen jo
ab tak nam rahi hai
dhire dhire haule haule
aaine ka dhundhla chehra khil raha hai
dhire dhire haule haule

chura ke khud se
aankhen mai har pal jiya
zeher jo usne ghola
maie wo piya
chuppi ke, aad me
chipkar usne jurm kiya
zuban par laga wo
tala khul raha hai
dhire dhire haule haule
meri nahi koi khata ye pata chala hai
dhire dhire haule haule

Shattered shards, piecing, rising,
Slowly, gently, reforming.
Discordant notes, now harmonizing,
Slowly, gently, transforming.
The mirror's haze, a dawn arising,
Slowly, gently, warming.

A tender life, its childhood lost,
A soiled shroud of dread, enfolding,
Alone, forlorn, at what a cost,
Defenseless, silently scolding.
Tears, that for years had crossed,
Slowly, gently, withholding.
Eyes, long veiled, now unclosing,
Slowly, gently, beholding.
The mirror's haze, a dawn arising,
Slowly, gently, unfolding.

Stealing from myself, each breath I drew,
The poison she brewed, I tasted true.
Hidden in shadows, her crimes she knew,
The lock on my tongue, now breaking through,
Slowly, gently, releasing.
My small, innocent fault, revealing,
Slowly, gently, appeasing.
