kyu raato ko main ab chain se so na saku
kyu aata nahi mujhe din me bhi chain o suku
kyu aisa hota hai main khud se hi baate karu
kyu tu jo bole koi sune na wo main hi sunu
dil ye bekarar kyu hai, ispe dhun sawaar kyu hai
kyu hai ye khumaar kyu hai tu bata
tera intezaar kyu hai, tujhpe aitbaar kyu hai
kyu hai ye khumaar kyu hai tu bata, tu bata, tu bata

kyu tujhe dekhe bina aata nahi dil ko sabar
kyu tere chehre se hatati nahi ye nazar
kyu tujhe paake mujhe rehta hai khone ka darr
kyu tere siva sari duniya se hu main bekhabar
dil ye bekarar kyu hai, ispe dhun sawaar kyu hai
kyu hai ye khumaar kyu hai tu bata
tera intezaar kyu hai, tujhpe aitbaar kyu hai
kyu hai ye khumaar kyu hai tu bata, tu bata, tu bata

ye pyaar hai jo tujhe ho gaya hai
na jaane kyu tu isse tha bekhabar
jo aaj kal yeh tujhe ho raha hai
nahi aur kuch, pyaar ka hai asar
kyu tere jalwo ka chhatata nahi hai dhuaa
kyu chale hawa toh lage ki jaise tune chhua
kyu maangta hai dil tere liye roz duaa
kyu ho raha jo woh pehle mujhe na hua
dil ye bekarar kyu hai, ispe dhun sawaar kyu hai
kyu hai ye khumaar kyu hai tu bata
tera intezaar kyu hai, tujhpe aitbaar kyu hai
kyu hai ye khumaar kyu hai tu bata, tu bata, tu bata

Why does sleep desert me in the night's dark keep?
Why does peace and solace in the day not seep?
Why do I converse only with myself in sleep?
Why only I, your whispered secrets, keep?
Why this restless heart, this fevered, driven beat?
Why this intoxication, bitter and so sweet?
Why this longing for you, faith I can’t defeat?
Why this intoxication, a love I can’t retreat?

Why does patience fail when I your face don't see?
Why does my gaze from your dear face not flee?
Why, having found you, does fear hold fast to me?
Why am I blind to all the world, save thee?
Why this restless heart, this fevered, driven beat?
Why this intoxication, bitter and so sweet?
Why this longing for you, faith I can’t defeat?
Why this intoxication, a love I can’t retreat?

This love you've found, a truth you now embrace,
Why were you blind, lost in a hidden space?
What haunts you now, with its relentless pace?
It’s love alone, its touch, its tender grace.
Why does the smoke of your allure not cease?
Why does the breeze feel like your soft release?
Why does my heart for you, implore, increase?
Why is this new, a love I can't appease?
Why this restless heart, this fevered, driven beat?
Why this intoxication, bitter and so sweet?
Why this longing for you, faith I can’t defeat?
Why this intoxication, a love I can’t retreat?
