itane qarib aake bhi kyaa jaane kis liye
itane qarib aake bhi kyaa jaane kis liye
kuchh ajanabi se aap hai, kuchh ajanabi se ham
kuchh ajanabi se aap hai
vo ek baat jo thi faqat aap ke liye
vo ek baat jo thi faqat aap ke liye
vo ek baat kah na sake aap hi se ham
vo ek baat kah na sake aap hi se ham
kuchh ajanabi se aap hai

aisi to koi qaid nahi dil ki baat par
aisi to koi qaid nahi dil ki baat par
apas ki baat hai to dare kyo kisi se ham
kuchh ajanabi se aap hai

tum dur ho to maut bhi aaye na ham ko raas
tum dur ho to maut bhi aaye na ham ko raas
tum paas to jaan bhi de de khushi se ham
kuchh ajanabi se aap hai

maut ek vaham, aur haqikat hai zindagi
ik dusare ko maangege is zindagi se ham
ik dusare ko maangege is zindagi se ham
ik dusare ko maangege

So close, yet a universe apart, I see,
So close, yet why this stranger in you,
And in me, a stranger too, it seems to be.
That one truth, meant only for your gaze,
That one truth, now unspoken, held from you,
A secret kept, in these strange, winding ways.
A stranger in you still I find.

No prison bars confine the heart's true word,
No chains to bind the whispered, private plea.
If ours alone, why then this fear unheard?
A stranger in you still I see.
If distance keeps you, even death's embrace,
Would taste unwelcome, bitter on my tongue.
But near you, life, and gladly I'd efface,
My breath, my all, for you so strongly sung.
A stranger in you still I see.
Death, a phantom, life, the only claim,
From this life, only each other will we crave.
From this life, only each other we will name.
