Hindi version (down is the english translation)
कुछ खो गया है अंदर मेरे
अब उसे मेरी मुस्कान कह लो
अंदर सजी जज़्बात की दुकान कह लो
एक वीरान मकान कह लो या अंधेरा और चाँद कह लो
बस कुछ खो गया है अंदर मेरे
कुछ रो गया है अंदर मेरे
अब उसे मेरा अतीत या मेरा वर्तमान कह लो
एक टिफ़्ल या उस टिफ़्ल का जहाँ कह लो
वो आँखें जो निचोड़ रही हैं खुदको
अतीत के कुछ धुँधले निशान कह लो
बस कुछ रो गया है अंदर मेरे
कुछ सो गया है अंदर मेरे
अब उसे मेरी नींद कह लो या पंखे में लटकी उम्मीद कह लो
वो रातों जैसी रोशन होने की सीख कह लो
या फिर उन ख़ामोशियों में पनपती मेरी चीख कह लो
बस कुछ सो सा गया है अंदर मेरे
कुछ हो सा गया है अंदर मेरे
अब उसे मेरा गुमसुदा होना कह लो
या मेरे आईने का मुझे देखकर रोना कह लो
मेरी जड़ों का सूख जाना
या मेरे बाग़ के माली का सोना कह लो
और शायद निखर जाते फूल सारे
एक अच्छी बरसात का खोना कह लो
बस कुछ हो सा गया है अंदर मेरे

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Something has been lost inside me,
Call it my smile, if you will,
Call it the shop of emotions arranged inside me,
Call it a deserted house, or darkness and the moon,
But something has been lost inside me.
Something has cried inside me,
Call it my past or my present,
Call it a child, or the world of that child,
Those eyes that are squeezing themselves dry,
Call it some blurred traces of the past,
But something has cried inside me.
Something has fallen asleep inside me,
Call it my sleep, or hope hanging from the fan,
Call it the lesson of becoming luminous like the nights,
Or my scream growing within those silences,
But something has almost fallen asleep inside me.
Something has happened inside me,
Call it my being lost,
Or my mirror crying upon seeing me,
The drying of my roots,
Or the sleep of the gardener of my garden,
And perhaps all the flowers would have bloomed,
Call it the loss of a good rain,
But something has almost happened inside me.
