dekhte dekhte, kyaa se kyaa ho gayaa,
IN MATTERS OF MOMENTS WHAT ALL TOOK PLACE,

THE HEARTBEATS WERE LEFT BEHIND,THE HEART WAS TORN ASUNDER OH!

WHO KNOWS WHERE HAS SHE GONE

dil meraa le gayee le gayee voh,

jaane kahaa.n gayee...
WHO KNOWS WHERE HAS SHE GONE..

jaane kahaa.n gayee...
WHO KNOWS WHERE HAS SHE GONE..


aaj TooTa huwaa, dil kaa yeh saaz hai,
BROKEN LIES THIS HEART’S CHORD TODAY,

ab vo naghme.n kahaa.n, sirf aawaaz hai haay,
NOW NO MORE THE MELODIES, ONLY THE VOICE REMAINS ALAS,

sirf aawaaz hai...
ONLY THE VOICE REMAINS,

jaane kahaa.n gayee,
WHO KNOWS WHERE HAS SHE GONE,

dil meraa le gayee le gayee voh,
MY HEART SHE’S TAKEN AWAY,

jaane kahaa.n gayee...
WHO KNOWS WHERE HAS SHE GONE..

jaane kahaa.n gayee...
WHO KNOWS WHERE HAS SHE GONE..


ghuT-taa rehtaa na damm, jaan to chhooTtee,
THE BREATH WOULDN’T HAVE CHOKED, LIFE WOULD’VE BEEN SPARED,

kaash kehtaa koee, voh muhabbat na thee haay,
WISHED THAT SOMEONE HAD SAID IT WASN’T LOVE, ALAS!

voh muhabbat na thee,
IT WASN’T LOVE,

jaane kahaa.n gayee,
WHO KNOWS WHERE HAS SHE GONE,

dil meraa le gayee le gayee voh,
MY HEART SHE’S TAKEN AWAY,

jaane kahaa.n gayee...
WHO KNOWS WHERE HAS SHE GONE..

jaane kahaa.n gayee...
WHO KNOWS WHERE HAS SHE GONE..


haal kyaa hai meraa, aake khud dekh jaa,
WHAT’S MY STATE, COME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF,

ab tere haath hai, jeenaa marnaa meraa haay,
NOW IN YOUR HAND IS MY LIFE AND DEATH, ALAS!

Jeena marnaa mera,
MY LIFE AND DEATH,

jaane kahaa.n gayee,
WHO KNOWS WHERE HAS SHE GONE,

dil meraa le gayee le gayee voh,
MY HEART SHE’S TAKEN AWAY,

WHO KNOWS WHERE HAS SHE GONE..

jaane kahaa.n gayee...
WHO KNOWS WHERE HAS SHE GONE..

jaane kahaa.n gayee...
WHO KNOWS WHERE HAS SHE GONE..


NASIR

There are many ways of breaking a heart. Stories were full of hearts being broken by love, but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream-whatever that dream might be."
