jaane kyaa sochkar nahi guzra
jaane kyaa sochkar nahi guzra
ik pal raat bhar nahi guzra
jaane kyaa sochkar nahi guzra

apni tanahaai ka auro se na shikva karna
apni tanahaai ka auro se na shikva karna
tum akele hi nahi ho sabhi akele hai
ye akela safar nahi guzra
jaane kyaa sochkar nahi guzra

do ghadi jine ki mohalat to mili hai sabko
do ghadi jine ki mohalat to mili hai sabko
tum bhi mil jaao ghadi bhar to ye gam hota hai
is ghadi ka safar nahi guzra
jaane kyaa sochkar nahi guzra
ik pal raat bhar nahi guzra
jaane kyaa sochkar nahi guzra

What thoughts held back the dawn,
What thoughts, the night, forlorn?
A moment's passage, withheld, withdrawn.
What thoughts held back the dawn.

Lament not solitude's embrace,
Nor seek solace in another's space.
You are not alone in this desolate place,
All tread the path, at their own pace.
This lone journey, un-traversed, unknown.
What thoughts held back the dawn.

A fleeting breath, this life we're lent,
A fragile hour, time misspent.
Meet me, even for a moment, heaven-sent,
And this sorrow would be less vehement.
This hour's passage, un-begun, un-meant.
What thoughts held back the dawn.
A moment's passage, withheld, withdrawn.
What thoughts held back the dawn.
