Another awesome song from the Amit Trivedi and Kavita Sheth from the movie Wake Up Sid.It has won many awards which are Filmfare Award for Best Lyricist, Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer & IIFA Award for Best Female Playback.  
Ikarata is an Indian Instrument which has only one string.

O re manwa, tu toh baawra hai..
O heart, you're mad,


tu hi jaane tu kya sochta hai..
you only know what you think,

tu hi jaane tu kya sochta hai.. baawre..
 you only know what you think, o mad (heart),
kyun dikhaye sapne tu sote jaagte..
why you show me dreams sleeping and awake,
jo barse sapne boond boond..
as dreams rain drop by drop,

nainon ko moond moond..
nainon ko moond moond..
closing the eyes,
 closing the eyes,

jo barsein sapne boond boond..
as dreams rain drop by drop,

nainon ko moond moond..
closing the eyes,
kaise main chaloon.. dekh na sakoon anjaane raaste..
How do I walk, I can't see,the unknown paths..

goonja sa hai koi iktara iktara..
goonja sa hai koi iktara..
goonja sa hai koi iktara iktara..
goonja sa hai koi iktara.. iktara..
Some iktara has echoed,(x4)
 
dheeme bole koi iktara iktara..Song
dheeme bole koi iktara..
some iktara plays softly,(x2)

goonja sa hai koi iktara iktara..
goonja sa hai koi iktara..



sun rahi hoon sudhbudh kho ke koi main kahani..
I'm listening to some story, with my consciousness lost,
 
poori kahani hai kya kise hai pata..
what is the whole story, who knows,
 
main toh kisiki ho ke yeh bhi na jaani..
I became someone (else)'s and didn't even know
 
rut hai yeh do pal ki ya rahegi sada..
whether this is a season of two moments or forever,
 
kise hai pata.. kise hai pata..
who knows, who knows...

jo barsein sapne boond boond..
nainon ko moond moond..
nainon ko moond moond..
jo barsein sapne boond boond..
nainon ko moond moond..
kaise main chaloon.. dekh na sakoon..
anjaane raaste..
