kahti hain ye khamoshi chupke se kuch kahan
chup hain lamha hain alfaz tanha
de aawaz tu kahan
chup ho tum bolo kyu chhip gaya hain kya sukun
chhedo saaj tum sanam kuch kaho tum
khud se tum kyu juda is tarah is tarah
kahti hain ye khamoshi bhi roko na tum bewajah
gira do ye sah raha hun sehre pe jo tera
man mein ek salaah tumse
chup ho tum bolo kyu chhip gaya kya sukun
chhedo saaj tum sanam kuch kaho
wo hasi hain kahan gunjati jo yahan
kya presaan ho tum kuch kaho
khud se tum kyu juda is tarah
kyu juda is tarah

chup ho tum bolo kyu chhip gaya hain kya sukun
chhedo saaj tum sanam kuch kaho tum
kya presaan ho tum kuch kaho
khud se tum kyu juda

The silence whispers secrets, softly spoken,
Today, the moment hides, words are forsaken.
Where is your call, your voice, now unheard?

Why are you silent? Peace has fled, has it not?
Beloved, strike the strings, let music be sought.
Why estranged from yourself, in this way, this way?

The silence pleads, "Do not restrain yourself in vain."
Cast down the burden, the veil of pain I sustain,
A counsel whispered within your heart, I impart.
Why are you silent? Peace has fled, has it not?
Beloved, strike the strings, speak your heart.

Where is the laughter, that once echoed here?
Are you troubled? Tell me, my dear.
Why estranged from yourself, in this way?
In this way, why apart?

Why are you silent? Peace has fled, has it not?
Beloved, strike the strings, speak your heart.
Are you troubled? Tell me your art.
Why estranged from yourself, apart?
