kyun raato ko mai ab chain se so na saku
kyun aata nahi mujhe din me bhi chain o suku
kyun aisa hota hai mai khud se hi baate karu
kyun tu jo bole koi sune na wo mai hi sunu
dil ye bekarar kyun hai
iss pe dhun sawar kyu hai
kyun hai ye khumar kyu hai tu bataa
tera intezar kyu hai tujhpe aitbaar kyu hai
kyu hai ye khumar kyu hai, tu bata
tu bata, tu bata

kyun tujhe dekhe bina aata nahi dil ko sabar
kyu tere chehre se hatt ti nahi ye nazar
kyu tujhe paake mujhe rehta hai khone ka darr
kyun tere siva sari duniya se hu mai bekhabar
dil ye bekarar kyun hai
iss pe dhun sawar kyu hai
kyu hai ye khumar kyu hai tu bataa
tera intezar kyu hai tujhpe aitbaar kyu hai
kyu hai ye khumar kyu hai, tu bataa
tu bataa, tu bataa

ye pyaar hai jo tujhe ho gaya hai
naa jaane kyun tu iss se tha bekhabar
jo aaj kal yeh tujhe ho raha hai
nahi aur kuch pyar ka hai asar
kyun tere jalwo ka chatt ta nahi hai dhuaa
kyu chale hawa toh lage ki jaise tune chhua
kyu maangta hai dil tere liye roz duaa
kyu ho raha jo pehle mujhe naa hua
dil ye bekarar kyun hai
iss pe dhun sawar kyun hai
kyu hai ye khumar kyun hai, tu bataa
tera intezar kyun hai, tujhpe aitbar kyun hai
kyun hai ye khumar kyun hai, tu bataa
tu bataa, tu bataa

Why can I not sleep in peace at night?
Why does calm elude me even in the light?
Why do I converse only with myself?
Why is it your voice alone I hear?

Why is the heart so restless now?
Why is it consumed by this very tune?
Why this intoxication, tell me why?
Why do I wait, why do I trust in you?
Tell me, why?

Why does the heart find no solace without your sight?
Why can my gaze not leave your face, my light?
Why, having found you, do I fear losing your hold so tight?
Why am I unaware of the world, bereft of your sight?

Why is the heart so restless now?
Why is it consumed by this very tune?
Why this intoxication, tell me why?
Why do I wait, why do I trust in you?
Tell me, why?

This love, it has now blossomed in you,
Unaware, you were, of its hue.
What now consumes you, body and soul,
Is the very essence of love's toll.

Why does the smoke of your presence never fade?
Why does the breeze feel like your touch, gently laid?
Why does my heart pray for you, every day?
Why does this happen, things never did before today?

Why is the heart so restless now?
Why is it consumed by this very tune?
Why this intoxication, tell me why?
Why do I wait, why do I trust in you?
Tell me, why?
