kisi ke vade pe kyun
kisi ke vade pe kyun atbaar humne kiya
kisi ke vade pe kyun atbaar humne kiya
na aane walo ka kyun
na aane walo ka kyun intzaar humne kiya
kisi ke vade pe kyun atbaar humne kiya

na wo humare huye aur na hum rahe apne
aa na wo humare huye aur na hum rahe apne
mohabbato ka azab
mohabbato ka azab karobaar humne kiya
kisi ke vade pe kyun atbaar humne kiya

wo khel khel rahe the wo khel khel chuke
ho wo khel khel rahe the wo khel khel chuke
khata humari thi kyun
khata humari thi kyun unse pyar kiya humne
kisi ke vade pe kyun atbaar humne kiya

bichhad ke unse na jab dil kisi tarah badla
ho bichhad ke unse na jab dil kisi tarah badla
sharabkhane ka rukh
sharabkhane ka rukh ikhtiyar humne kiya
na aane walo ka kyun
na aane walo ka kyun intzaar humne kiya
na aane walo ka kyun intzaar humne kiya
kisi ke vade pe kyun atbaar humne kiya

Why trust the promise of another,
Why did we believe their word?
Why wait for those who never come,
Why did we linger, unheard?
Why trust the promise of another?

They were never ours, nor we our own,
In love's strange, bewildering trade,
They were never ours, nor we our own,
The deal, the bargain, was made.
Why trust the promise of another?

They played their game, the game was done,
They played, and then the game was through,
Our fault it was, the love we gave,
Our error, the love we knew.
Why trust the promise of another?

When parted from them, the heart stayed unchanged,
When broken, the heart did not mend,
We turned our gaze to the tavern's door,
To solace that would not end.
Why wait for those who never come?
Why did we linger, unheard?
Why wait for those who never come?
Why trust the promise of another?
