dilli kahaan gayi
tire koochon ki raunaqen
galiyon se sar jhuka ke
guzarne lagaa huun main
oh delhi, where has the
charm of your lanes gone?
now i walk through your streets
with my head bowed

aahat si koyi aaye to
lagtaa hai ki tum ho
saaya koyi lahraaye to
lagtaa hai ki tum ho
if i hear a soft tread
it feels like it’s you
even if a shadow flutters
it feels like it’s you
