kaun jane, kaun jane
kaun jane kyo aisa hota hain
jab koi chain apna khota hain
jab koi sapna tut jata hain
jab kahi koi chut jata hain
aankhen yeh gam chupa bhi leti hain
dil magar haule haule rota hain
kaun jane kaun jane

phul khilte hain toh murjhate bhi hain
dil dhadakte hain toh gam pate hain
rut jo aati hain toh chali jati hain
log milte hain toh kho jate hain
dil magar haule haule rota hain

log aaise bhi din bitate ahin
jo bhi gam hain use chupate hain
koi shikwa gila nahi karte
sab birah me bhi muskurate hain
gul magar haule haule rota hain

kaun jane kyo aisa hota hain
jab koi chain apna khota hain
jab koi sapna tut jata hain
jab kahi koi chut jata hain
aankhen yeh gam chupa bhi leti hain
dil magar haule haule rota hain

Who knows, who knows,
Why does it always come to this?
When peace is lost to the abyss,
When a dream dissolves in a kiss,
When a part of you is amiss.
The eyes may hide the pain within,
But the heart weeps with a subtle hiss.
Who knows, who knows.

Flowers bloom, then fade away,
Hearts beat, yet shadows play,
Seasons arrive, then slip astray,
People meet, then drift and stray.
But the heart weeps with a subtle hiss.

Some endure days in such plight,
Concealing sorrow from the light,
No complaints escape their lips,
They smile through the darkest night.
The rose weeps with a gentle kiss.

Who knows why it comes to this?
When peace is lost to the abyss,
When a dream dissolves in a kiss,
When a part of you is amiss.
The eyes may hide the pain within,
But the heart weeps with a subtle hiss.
