Without saying a single word,
Your eyes
Throw stones at me.
Without saying a single word,
My heart
Swings along with you.
You are the rippling water,
You are the flickering flame.
As I walk up to you,
You look at me like a toy.
With mischievous eyes,
You tilt your umbrella and walk by.
Without saying a single word,
Your eyes
Throw stones at me.
As if I have seen you somewhere before,
My heart keeps telling me.
Are time and love
All tangled in confusion?
Pretending to be so innocent,
Yet your half-saree carries such pride.
Still it believes, it keeps believing—
Why does my heart do this?
Standing here completely lost in a daze,
Is it all because of you?
Without saying a single word,
Your eyes
Throw stones at me.
Looking like a storm at first glance,
You are a gentle breeze, like an angel.
You cast some kind of spell inside me.
Though there are a thousand words,
Holding on to silence,
Why did you lock up your heart today?
With just one word,
In your life,
Won't you give me a little space?
You are the rippling water,
You are the flickering flame.
As I walk up to you,
You look at me like a toy.
With mischievous eyes,
You tilt your umbrella and walk by.
Without saying a single word,
Your eyes
Throw stones at me.
Without saying a single word,
My heart
Swings along with you.
