kaha bhi na jaye piya kaha bhi na jaye
apne the jo hue paraye
kaha bhi na jaye piya kaha bhi na jaye
apne the jo hue paraye

jinki vina gum ki bela, dono par ab jor na mera
jinki vina gum ki bela, dono par ab jor na mera
ek jale piya ek jalaye apne the jo hue paraye

ye hi sang hai yahi sahara, yad tumhari nam tumhara
ye hi sang hai yahi sahara, yad tumhari nam tumhara
koi bhi ab kam na aaye apne the jo hue paraye
kaha bhi na jaye piya kaha bhi na jaye
apne the jo hue paraye

To speak it is forbidden, to silence is defeat.
Those once mine, now strangers greet.
To speak it is forbidden, to silence is defeat.
Those once mine, now strangers greet.

Their veena, a sorrow's lone chime,
My hands, no longer hold time.
Their veena, a sorrow's lone chime,
My hands, no longer hold time.
One burns, beloved, one does ignite,
Those once mine, lost to the night.

This echo, my only friend, your name, my endless plea,
This echo, my only friend, your name, my endless plea,
No comfort offered, no solace to see,
Those once mine, now eternally free.
To speak it is forbidden, to silence is defeat.
Those once mine, now strangers greet.
