kuch dil ne kaha, kuch bhi nahin
my heart said something. then nothing
aisi bhi baatein hoti hain
such things happen too
kuch dil ne suna, kuch bhi nahin
my heart heard something .then nothing
aisi bhi baatein hoti hain
such things happen too
leta hai dil angadaeeyaan, is dil ko samjhaaye koi
my heart is so restless, who can contain it
armaan na aankhe khol de, ruswaa na ho jaye koi
hope no desires are awakened, no reputation is lost
palkon ki thandi sej par, sapnon ki pariyaan soti hain
on the bed of cool eyelashes, sleep the dream fairies
aisi bhi baatein hoti hain
such things happen too
dil ki tasalli ke liye, jhoothi chamak jhootha nikhaar
to soothe the heart there is a false shine, a false beauty
jeewan to soona hi raha, sab samajhe aayi bahaar
life remains empty, even the season understands that
kaliyon se koi poochta , hasti hain ya roti hain
who asks the flowerbuds whether they laugh or weep!
aisi bhi baatein hoti hain
such things happen too
