ye haadsa tha ki main
umr bhar safar mein raha
i knew that those at home
were waiting for me
the misfortune was that i spent
my whole life out traveling

kya khabar ahl-e-mohabbat ka
taraana ban jaaye
that poem written today
on separation from you
who knows...could become a song
for those in love tomorrow

kya khabar thi ki
rag-e-jaan mein utar jaaega

that would heal soon
who knew it would
sink into the vein of life?

kya khabar thi jaate jaate
woh dua de jaayega
how regretful i am

who knew, that while leaving
