Khufiya Dastaan
Parvaaz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Raat ki daasta chup si hai gamjado ka sitam nam sa hai,
Gum sa hai hasin raat ho karke bhi na ho baya
Kabhi baat ho karke bhi na ho baya
Ruk ruk ke chalta hai jo kaisa ye saya siya
Chup chup ke le wo raha hai teri ye ruh kahan
Ruk ruk ke puchhe hai mujhse mera ye neeb nishan?

Kal tak shayad yahi tha jane main ab hu kahan

O bhur bhur karke main jo tere
Aasman me mudke bhi to jaaun to jaaun kahan
Hans hans ke jo main bhi ye kar raha
Hun meri marzi na ho to hai fark kya
Dekha maine socha maine jo yaha hai shor hai fatoor hai ye waqt ka
Chhodna bhi chhahu par chhod na paaun saaz ye jo aaj hai ye tifl ka
Kyon bata tham sa gaya ye sama
Hai jam sa gaya ye jahan

Kab se ki teri gulami ab ho gayi inteha
Rangi tab jo wo raate berang hain ab sada
Mujhse ye bole fakira khoya tu khoya kahan

Hasin raat ho karlke bhi na ho baya
Banke raaz banke faraaz ye raaz ho

Your soul silently wanders, searching for a place to belong

Ruk ruk ke puchhe hai mujhse mera ye neeb nishan?
The shadow hesitantly asks me about my wounds and scars

Kal tak shayad yahi tha jane main ab hu kahan
Until yesterday, I knew who I was, but now I am lost

O bhur bhur karke main jo tere
I buzz around you like a bee

Aasman me mudke bhi to jaaun to jaaun kahan
Even if I look back at the sky, I don't know where to go

Hans hans ke jo main bhi ye kar raha
I do what I do with a smile on my face

Hun meri marzi na ho to hai fark kya
What difference does it make if it's not my wish?

Dekha maine socha maine jo yaha hai shor hai fatoor hai ye waqt ka
As I look around, I realize that the chaos and confusion are the characteristics of this time

Chhodna bhi chhahu par chhod na paaun saaz ye jo aaj hai ye tifl ka
I may want to leave, but I can't abandon this instrument, it's the child's creation of today

Kyon bata tham sa gaya ye sama
Why has this moment come to a halt?

Hai jam sa gaya ye jahan
The world has become like a frozen moment

Kab se ki teri gulami ab ho gayi inteha
Since when has your servant become your slave forever?

Rangi tab jo wo raate berang hain ab sada
The nights that were colorless then are now forever dull

Mujhse ye bole fakira khoya tu khoya kahan
The wanderer asks me, 'Lost one, where have you lost yourself?'

Hasin raat ho karlke bhi na ho baya
Even though the night is beautiful, there is a sense of sadness that cannot be expressed

Banke raaz banke faraaz ye raaz ho
Becoming a secret, becoming a guiding light, let this be the secret
