reti me kyu mahal banaaya
aandhi me kyu deep jalaaya
jhuthi teri aas manva
jhuthi teri aas
ho reti me kyu mahal banaaya
aandhi me kyu deep jalaaya
jhuthi teri aas manva
jhuthi teri aas
ho reti me kyu mahal banaaya

unako paakar bhi naa paaya
hath kisi ka haath na aaya
nadi kinaare par jaakar bhi bujhi na teri pyaas
manawa jhuthi teri aas
jhuthi teri aas
ho reti me kyu mahal banaaya
aandhi me kyu deep jalaaya
jhuthi teri aas manva
jhuthi teri aas
ho reti me kyu mahal banaaya

sapano se kyu dil bharmaaye
sapana aaye sapana jaaye
sapana to fir bhi sapana hai
kyaa usaka vishwas
manawa jhuthi teri aas
ho reti me kyu mahal banaaya
aandhi me kyu deep jalaaya
jhuthi teri aas manva
jhuthi teri aas
ho reti me kyu mahal banaaya

preet kiye kab sukh hota hain
murakh manva kyu rota hain
murakh manva kyu rota hain
manjil ko kyu dhundha raha hain
manjil ke hi paas
manva jhuthi teri aas
ho reti me kyu mahal banaaya
aandhi me kyu deep jalaaya
jhuthi teri aas manva
jhuthi teri aas
ho reti me kyu mahal banaaya
aandhi me kyu deep jalaaya
reti me kyu mahal banaaya
aandhi me kyu deep jalaaya
reti me kyu mahal banaaya

Upon the sand, a fortress raised,
Against the storm, a candle blazed,
False hope you cling to, heart of mine,
False hope, a tangled, barren vine.
Oh, upon the sand, a fortress raised.

Though held, they vanished from your grasp,
No hand to hold, no loving clasp,
Beside the river, thirst remained,
False hope, a soul forever chained.
False hope, a tangled, barren vine.
Oh, upon the sand, a fortress raised,
Against the storm, a candle blazed,
False hope you cling to, heart of mine,
False hope, a tangled, barren vine.
Oh, upon the sand, a fortress raised.

Why fill your heart with fleeting dreams?
They come and go, like sunlit streams.
A dream, a whisper, light and frail,
What faith resides within its trail?
False hope, a soul forever chained.
Oh, upon the sand, a fortress raised,
Against the storm, a candle blazed,
False hope you cling to, heart of mine,
False hope, a tangled, barren vine.
Oh, upon the sand, a fortress raised.

When love is born, does joy remain?
Why weep, you fool, in endless pain?
Why weep, you fool, in endless pain?
Why seek the goal, so far away,
When near the end, the answers lay?
False hope, a soul forever chained.
Oh, upon the sand, a fortress raised,
Against the storm, a candle blazed,
False hope you cling to, heart of mine,
False hope, a tangled, barren vine.
Oh, upon the sand, a fortress raised,
Against the storm, a candle blazed,
Upon the sand, a fortress raised,
Against the storm, a candle blazed,
Upon the sand, a fortress raised.
