koi chupke se aake, sapne sulake mujhko jagake
bole mai aa raha hu, kaun aaye yeh mai kaise janu
koi chupke se aake, sapne sulake mujhko jagake
bole mai aa raha hu, kaun aaye yeh mai kaise janu
koi chupke se aake

dur kahi bole papiha, piya aa mausam suhana
tarse hai koi yaha, aa bhi ja karke bahana
kaun sa bahana, kaisa bahana, kitna mushkil hai ye batana
dekho phir bhi koi bha raha hai, kaun bhaye yeh mai kaise janu
koi chupke se aake, sapne sulake mujhko jagake
bole mai aa raha hu, kaun aaye yeh mai kaise janu
koi chupke se aake

pyasa hai dil ka gagan, pyar ki agni jalaye
palko me kaid hai sawan, hontho tak bat naa aaye
bat aate aate rat ho gayi
chahat ki barat chhod gayi sath
bat aate aate ho gayi rat
itani rat gaye kaise gau he he he he
dekho phir bhi koi ga raha hai
kaun gaye yeh mai kaise janu
koi chupke se aake, sapne sulake mujhko jagake
bole mai aa raha hu, kaun aaye ye mai kaise janu

A whisper arrives, lulls dreams to sleep, then wakes,
Says, "I am coming," but how shall I know who nears?
A whisper arrives.

Far off, a cuckoo cries, "Beloved, come, the season's sweet,"
Someone yearns here, find an excuse to meet.
What excuse? What guise? How hard to tell the truth.
Yet, someone beckons, calls to me, how can I know who they are?
A whisper arrives, lulls dreams to sleep, then wakes,
Says, "I am coming," but how shall I know who nears?
A whisper arrives.

The heart's sky thirsts, love's fire it ignites,
The monsoon's held in lashes, words cannot take flight.
Words, as they came, the night took hold.
The wedding of longing, left the world.
Words, as they came, the night took hold.
So late, how can I sing, he he he he.
Yet, someone sings now, somewhere nearby,
How can I know who sings, this mystery?
A whisper arrives, lulls dreams to sleep, then wakes,
Says, "I am coming," but how shall I know who nears?
A whisper arrives.
