hum bewafa hargiz na the par hum wafa kar na sake
hajir hai lo ye dil jo ham pahle fida kar na sake
humko mili uski saza hum, jo khata kar na sake
hum bewafa hargiz na the par hum wafa kar na sake

kitni akeli thin woh raahen hum jinpe
ab tak akele chalte rahe
tujhse bichhad ke bhi o bekhabar
tere hi gum mein jalte rahe
tune kiya jo shikwa hum wo gila kar na sake
hum bewafa hargiz na thhe par hum wafa kar na sake

tumne jo dekha suna sach tha magar
kitna tha sach yeh kisko patah
jaane tumhe maine koi dhoka diya
jaane tumhe koi dhoka hua
is pyar mein sach jhooth ka tum faisla kar na sake
hum bewafa hargiz na the par hum wafa kar na sake

We were never faithless, no, but faith we couldn't keep,
Here's the heart, a gift, that we couldn't let leap.
Punishment we bore, for wrongs we couldn't reap,
We were never faithless, no, but faith we couldn't keep.

Lonely were those paths, where now,
Alone, we still must tread.
Though parted from you, unaware, somehow,
In your grief, our hearts bled.
The complaint you voiced, we couldn't make it sweep,
We were never faithless, no, but faith we couldn't keep.

What you saw, what you heard, was true, yet,
How much of it was? Who knows this fret?
Did I deceive you, a shadowed debt?
Or were you deceived, a heart's regret?
In love's maze, truth from lies, you couldn't separate,
We were never faithless, no, but faith we couldn't keep.
