kyu dooriyan ghatti nahi
kyu fansle simatte nahi
bechainiya badhti nahi
hairaniyan thamti nahi
kyu dooriyan ghatti nahi
kyu fansle simatte nahi
bechainiya badhti nahi
hairaniyan thamti nahi
kyu dooriyan ghatti nahi
kyu fansle simatte nahi

kyon jam gai aankhe meri
un rasto pe tu jinpe chali
kandhe pe kyu mahsoos ho
haath tera meri zindgi
kyu dooriyan ghatti nahi
kyu fansle simatte nahi

tune jalaye the jo diye
meine kabhi na bujhne diye
diye jag rahe, hum jeena hai
milega hume tu, kabhi na kabhi
kyu dooriyan ghatti nahi
kyu fansle simatte nahi
bechainiya badhti nahi
hairaniyan thamti nahi
kyu dooriyan ghatti nahi
kyu fansle simatte nahi

Why do distances never wane?
Why do gulfs refuse to shrink?
Why do anxieties not cease to rise?
Why do wonders never cease to think?
Why do distances never wane?
Why do gulfs refuse to shrink?
Why do anxieties not cease to rise?
Why do wonders never cease to think?
Why do distances never wane?
Why do gulfs refuse to shrink?

Why are my eyes now set and frozen
Upon the paths your footsteps trod?
Why on my shoulder do I feel,
Your hand upon my life, O God?
Why do distances never wane?
Why do gulfs refuse to shrink?

The lamps you lit, so long ago,
I vowed would never dim nor die.
The lamps still burn, our lives endure,
We'll meet again, beneath the sky.
Why do distances never wane?
Why do gulfs refuse to shrink?
Why do anxieties not cease to rise?
Why do wonders never cease to think?
Why do distances never wane?
Why do gulfs refuse to shrink?
