chhoti si baat pe khush hona
mujhe aata tha

4 / 7: chup
apni zabaan se kuchh na kahenge
chup hi rahenge aashiq log
tum se to itna ho sakta hai
poochho haal bechaaron ka
they won’t open their mouths
those who love you will say nothing
if it is possible for you, at least
ask the condition of the poor souls

ai dil-e-beqaraar chup ho ja
ja chuki hai bahaar chup ho ja
ab na aayenge rooThne waale

7 / 7: chup
main to is vaaste chup huun
ke tamaasha na bane
tu samajhta hai mujhe
tujh se gila kuchh bhi naheen
i remain silent for this reason:
to not create a scene
but you conclude (mistakenly)
i have no complaints against you
