Naina
jhootha jag rain basera
saancha dard mera
mrig-trishna sa moh piya
naata mera tera
naina jo saanjhe khwab dekhte the
naina bichad ke aaj ro diye hain yun
naina jo milke raat jaagte the
naina sehar mein palken meechte hain yun
juda huye kadam
jinhone li thi ye kasam
milke chalenge hardum
ab baant'te hain ye gham
bheege naina jo khidkhiyon se jhankte the
naina ghutan mein band ho gaye hai yun
saans hairaan hai
mann pareshaan hai
ho rahi si kyun ruaansa ye meri jaan hai
kyun nirasha se hai
aas haari huyi
kyun sawaalon ka utha sa
dil mein toofaan hai
naina thhe aasmaan ke sitaare
naina grahan mein aaj toot'te hain yun
naina kabhi jo dhoop senkte thhe
naina thehar ke chhaaon dhoondhte hain yun
juda huye kadam
jinhone li thi ye kasam
milke chalenge hardum
ab baant'te hain ye gham
bheege naina jo sanjhe khwab dekhte the
naina bichhad ke aaj ro diye hain yun
Eyes
false dawn, this night is a lie
my true pain
like a mirage, my love, babe
my bond with you
those eyes that used to share dreams
now they’re crying apart, just like this
those eyes that used to stay awake at night
now they’re blinking in the morning light like this
separated steps
that made this vow
we’ll walk together forever
now we share this sorrow
wet eyes that used to peek through windows
are now trapped in this suffocation like this
breath is confused
mind is troubled
why is this heartache happening, my love?
why is there despair?
hope has lost its way
why does this storm of questions
rage in my heart?
those eyes were stars in the sky
now they’re breaking in this eclipse like this
those eyes that once soaked in the sun
are now searching for shade, standing still like this
separated steps
that made this vow
we’ll walk together forever
now we share this sorrow
wet eyes that used to share dreams
are now crying apart, just like this
