I don't want to live in fragments Saara shehr mere liye banna tha Kya tum hasso ge? Tumhari uljhi si baaton se Mein saari raat, left right, seedha, ulta Khirki paas, baraamde ki batti jalaye Najaane kis kis awaaz pe galti se Chonk jaati hon Bar bar, bar bar Tum machli mandi Tang parh gia jo shehr tou Tum kidher jao ge Mein to bachpan ki baaghi hon Bewaja hi baaghi hon Dewaar paar taamp aaon gi Gir bhi *** to hass lon gi... unchi unchi Mera kya, I was never myself anyway When you are here My simple house perks up as if It were listening to all your words The door frames watch wide-eyed As you pass by When you are here, the stairs do not even creak The rugs creep behind you, all my Knick-knacks know your name When you leave, I read everything Jese keh... I know you fill your pockets up with things, You beloved thief I know you want me to see I know you leave your marks On little things, as fingerprints Keh jab subah ** jae tou It is no accident that I find you Over and over Sirf tum hi hangama saaz to nahi Saara bazaar tumhe banata he Raat raat jaage; tum sajje sajaae Ulta ussi ko nachwaate ** But I have no issue Tumhari har ik awaaz pe Ghar ka rasta bhoolay Mein kyun na chali aaon? Do you think me tame? - Phir be-saakht mein dekhon Keh jaloos guzar chuka ** Or pura shehr saath us ke– In tang-dil galliyon mein tumhe dhondte dhondte Jo mein gum *** tou Kon mujhe dhonde ga?
