khoyi khoyi si hu main
kyun yeh dil ka haal hai
dhundli sari khwab hai
uljha har khayal hai
sari kaliya murjha gayi
rang unke yaado me reh gaye
sare gharande reet ke
lehre aayi, lehro me beh gaye

raah me kal kitni chirag the
saamne kal phoolon ki baag thi
iss se kahu kaun hai jo sune
kante hi kyu maine hai chune
sapne mere kyu hai kho gaye
jaage hai kyu dil me gumm naye
sari kaliya murjha gayi
rang unke yaado me reh gaye
saare gharande reet ke
lehrein aayi, lehron me beh gaye

kya kahu kyu ye dil udaas hai
ab koi door hai na paas hai
chhu le jo dil wo bate ab kaha
wo din kaha rate ab kaha
jo bita kal ab hai khawab sa
ab dil mera hai betab sa
sari kaliya murja gayi
rang unke yaado me reh gaye
sare gharande reet ke
lehre aayi, lehro me beh gaye beh gaye

Lost, adrift, I wander still,
Why does the heart its sorrow spill?
Dreams fade, a blurry haze,
Entangled thoughts in endless maze.
All the blossoms, withered now,
Their vibrant hues, a fading vow.
Sand-castles built on shifting shore,
Waves came crashing, and they're no more.

So many lamps along the way,
A blooming garden, yesterday.
To whom can I this secret tell?
Why did I choose the thorny spell?
Where have my cherished visions flown?
Why does new grief within me groan?
All the blossoms, withered now,
Their vibrant hues, a fading vow.
Sand-castles built on shifting shore,
Waves came crashing, and they're no more.

What words to speak, this heart so gray?
None near, none to light my day.
Where are the words that touched the soul?
Where are those nights that made me whole?
The past, a dream, a distant gleam,
My restless heart, a troubled stream.
All the blossoms, withered now,
Their vibrant hues, a fading vow.
Sand-castles built on shifting shore,
Waves came crashing, and they're no more, no more.
