kisko maaloom thaah, muhabbat me.n, aise aise, muqaam aate hai.n......
WHO KNEW THAT IN LOVE SUCH AND SUCH STATIONS ARRIVE!

jaane kahaa.n dekha hai,
WHERE HAVE I SEEN?

kahaa.n dekha hai tumeh.
WHERE HAVE I SEEN YOU?

jaane kahaa.n dekha hai,
WHERE HAVE I SEEN?

kahaa.n dekha hai tumeh.
WHERE HAVE I SEEN YOU?

jaagee jaagee ankhiyo.n ke sapno.n me.n,
IN THE DREAMS OF THE WAKEFUL EYES,

jaane kahaa.n dekha hai,
WHERE HAVE I SEEN?

kahaa.n dekha hai tumeh.
WHERE HAVE I SEEN YOU?
