Kitni baatein, yaad aati hai
Tasveere si ban jati hai
Mai kaise inhe bhulu
Dil ko kya smajhau
Conversations that haunt my memory,
the images that form in front of my eyes.
Can I ever forget them?
What will I tell my heart if I ever do?
Kitni baatein, kehne ki hai
Hothon par jo sehmi si hai
ik roz inhe sun lo
Kyun aise gumsum ho
There are so many words yet to be said,
timorously awaiting their destiny on the edge of my lips.
Come listen to them, this day.
Why do you despair, love?
Kyun poori ho na payi dastan
Kaise aayi hai aisi duriyan
Why did we live through an incomplete epic?
How did we end up so far?
Dono ke dilon ke mein sawaal hai
Fir bhi hai khamoshi
Toh kaun hai kiska doshi
Koi kya kahein
Both of us have our set of unanswered questions,
and yet, Silence hangs upon us like Pestilence.
Who betrayed whom?
How can we tell?
Kaisi uljhano ke ye jaal hai
Jinmei uljhe hai dil
Ab hona hai kya haasil
Koi kya kahein
Why do our prides entrap us?
Why are both our hearts being smothered?
What will we win? What is there to be achieved?
How can we tell?
Dil ki hai kaisi majbooriyan
Khoye the kaise raahon ke nishaan
Kaise aayi hai aisi duriyan
What forces my obstinate heart?
How did we lose our way?
How did distance overcome us?
Kitni baatein, kehne ki hai
Hothon par jo sehmi si hai
ik roz inhe sun lo
Kyun aise gumsum ho
There are so many words yet to be said,
timorously awaiting their destiny on the edge of my lips.
Come listen to them, this day.
Why do you despair, love?
Kitni baatein, yaad aati hai
Tasveere si ban jati hai
Mai kaise inhe bhulu
Dil ko kya smajhau
Conversations that haunt my memory,
the images that form in front of my eyes.
Can I ever forget them?
What will I tell my heart if I ever do?
