Kaunsa dil hai

📜 Lyrics

Slowly, slowly, in these breaths What kind of heart is this? Tell me A melody breaks from far away Is it burning inside or a prayer? I came to your door and wept On the dimly lit stairs Old dust has settled on my heart Your name is still written there What kind of heart exists without a scar? In love's ashes, we too are embers (Yes) Break and laugh, break and cry We too are worthy of the fragrance of wounds What kind of heart exists without a scar? In love, we too are a memory (Oh) Perhaps you too, in secret Thought in the last hours of night One story, different faces Who did you punish, who did you forgive? You burn too, I burn as well Our paths are lined with thorns alone If flowers existed, falling into ears They pierced the dream, divided the sleep What kind of heart exists without a scar? In love's ashes, we too are embers (Oh beloved) Leave false supports and see We will burn alone, yet we too are intoxicated What kind of heart exists without a scar? In love, we too are a memory Whatever came to me, broken as I was It saw me as a mirror I laughed too, I burned too Yet I still called you my own (Oh) What kind of heart exists without a scar? In love's ashes, we too are embers (Alas) Beloved, burning in your path alone We too are a sword upon time's chest What kind of heart exists without a scar? In love, we too are a memory What kind of heart is this? What kind of heart exists without a scar? (Ah) You too have burned I too have burned A memory in love A memory in love, we too are...

💡 Meaning & story

This song reflects love, pain, separation, and human emotions. It beautifully describes the wounds of the heart, the hardships of love, and the suffering on both sides. A detailed explanation of the song is as follows: 1. Introduction (Intro) "Slowly, slowly, in the breaths..." Here the poet describes the struggle within himself. He asks himself or his beloved: what is this heart that beats slowly in the breaths? When some note breaks from far away (meaning disappointment comes), a strange state arises within—uncertain whether this is an inner burning (pain) or some hidden prayer. 2. First Verse (Verse 1) "I came to your door and wept..." The poet is lost in memories of the past. He says that I have sat on the half-lit steps of your threshold and shed tears. With the passage of time, old dust (cobwebs of memories) has settled on the heart, but beneath this dust, even today, only your name is written. Meaning, despite time passing, love has not diminished. 3. Chorus (Chorus) "What heart exists that bears no scars..." This is the central idea of the song. The poet says: what heart in this world has not been wounded by love? Every heart surely carries some scar or wound. If love has now turned to ash, then we ourselves are the glowing embers hidden within that ash. He says: laugh openly or cry in breaking, these wounds from love and their fragrance belong to us as much as to anyone else. We too are a memorable part of this love's history. 4. Second Verse (Verse 2) "Perhaps you too, in secret..." Here the poet is guessing at his beloved's feelings. He says: perhaps you too, in the last hours of night (when the world sleeps), secretly thought of me. Our story is the same, only our faces are different. Now it's fate's game—who received punishment in this story and who received forgiveness. 5. Pre-Chorus (Pre-Chorus) "You too have burned, I too have burned..." Both have burned equally in love's fire. The poet says: our paths had only thorns. If ever something bloomed in life—some flowers (joys or dreams)—they fell like bitter truths into our ears, piercing our dreams and stealing our sleep. 6. Bridge (Bridge) "Whoever came to me, in this brokenness..." The poet says: whoever I met in these broken times treated me like a mirror (meaning people saw only their own reflection or their own gain in me). Yet despite all this, I laughed and burned in pain, but I always only called you mine and gave no one else a place in my heart. 7. Final Section (Final Reprise) "What heart exists?..." At the end of the song, the same words are repeated: no heart in this world is free from wounds. You too burned in this fire and so did I. Whatever the end may be, in this tale of love we will forever remain a "memory."
