zaraa si baat pe
zaraa si baat pe har rasm tod aayaa thaa
zaraa si baat pe har rasm tod aayaa thaa
dil-e-tabaah ne bhi kyaa mizaaj paayaa thaa
zaraa si baat pe

muaaf kar naa saki meri zindagi mujhako
muaaf kar naa saki meri zindagi mujhako
vo ek lamhaa ki mai tujhase tag aayaa thaa
vo ek lamhaa ki mai tujhase tag aayaa thaa
zaraa si baat pe

shaguftaa phul simat kar kali bane jaise
shaguftaa phul simat kar kali bane jaise
kuchh is tarah se tune badan churaayaa thaa
kuchh is tarah se tune badan churaayaa thaa
zaraa si baat pe

guzar gayaa hai koi lamhaa-e-sharar ki tarah
guzar gayaa hai koi lamhaa-e-sharar ki tarah
abhi to mai use pahachaan bhi na paayaa thaa
abhi to mai use pahachaan bhi na paayaa thaa
zaraa si baat pe

pataa nahi ki mere baad unape kyaa guzari
pataa nahi ki mere baad unape kyaa guzari
mai chand khvaab zamaane me chhod aayaa thaa
mai chand khvaab zamaane me chhod aayaa thaa
zaraa si baat pe har rasm tod aayaa thaa
dil-e-tabaah ne bhi kyaa mizaaj paayaa thaa
zaraa si baat pe

For a trifle,
for a trifle, I shattered every rite,
for a trifle, I shattered every rite.
What a mood the wounded heart embraced,
for a trifle.

Forgiveness, my life, you withheld from me,
forgiveness, my life, you withheld from me,
that moment when I was weary of you,
that moment when I was weary of you,
for a trifle.

As a blossoming bloom retreats to bud,
as a blossoming bloom retreats to bud,
in such a way, you withdrew your form,
in such a way, you withdrew your form,
for a trifle.

Like a spark, a moment has now passed,
like a spark, a moment has now passed,
before I could even truly know it,
before I could even truly know it,
for a trifle.

I do not know what befell them after me,
I do not know what befell them after me,
I left behind some dreams in this world,
I left behind some dreams in this world,
for a trifle, I shattered every rite,
what a mood the wounded heart embraced,
for a trifle.
