Laapata
King | Priyanshi Srivastava • From “Shayad Woh Sune”
Laapata Lyrics Translation (from “Shayad Woh Sune”)
King’s writing notes close individuals becoming strangers, vanishing without answers. The line ‘Ajnabi huye wo jo kabhi the apne’ contrasts past intimacy with present detachment.
Humne Kiye Aise SawaalI’ve asked such questions,
Jinka Mila Na Jawab Unsethat I never received an answer for.
Toot Gaya Mera JahaanMy world fell apart,
Jisko Dhaage Se Banaya Bunkethe one I’d woven together thread by thread.
Ajnabi Huye Wo Jo Kabhi The ApneThose who were once my own have now become strangers,
Aaya Na Fir Kabhi Mudke Woand they never turned back to look at me again.
Hum Rishte Kya Hi RakhteHow could I have even kept the relationship alive?
Nadaani Na Samjhi UnkiI didn’t understand their immaturity,
Ya Kuch Bhi Keh Loor call it whatever you’d like,
Humko Bin Kahe Alvidathey left me without saying goodbye.
Wo Huye LaapataThey’ve gone missing.
Ab Dhundhe Kahan Unke NishaanWhere do I search for their traces now?
Wo Huye LaapataThey’ve gone missing.
Na Doori Kate Hai DarmiyanThe distance between us just won’t fade away.
Ab Har Ek Raahi MeinNow, in every traveler I see,
Main Tera Hi Aks Haithere’s only a reflection of you.
Tera Ruthke Chale JaanaYour leaving me while you were upset,
Kyun Bada Bewaqt Haiwhy was it so poorly timed?
Tera Chehra Nigaahon MeinKeeping your face in my sight,
Kuch Aise Rakhke Chala HoonI’ve continued on my way like this.
Mukhtsar Na Bhi Ho ManzilEven if the destination isn’t ‘within reach’,
Main Tera Banke Raha HoonI’ve remained entirely yours.
Tum Kahin Door Chale Gaye HoYou’ve gone far away somewhere,
Yeh Kyun Hua Haiwhy has this happened?
Mujhko Choor Kar Chuke HoYou’ve already shattered me completely,
Yeh Sab Kya Haiwhat is all of this?
Wo Huye LaapataThey’ve gone missing.
Ab Dhundhe Kahan Unke NishaanWhere do I search for their traces now?
Wo Huye LaapataThey’ve gone missing.
Na Doori Kate Hai DarmiyanThe distance between us just won’t fade away.
Ajnabi Huye Wo Jo Kabhi The ApneThose who used to be close are now total strangers,
Aaya Na Fir Kabhi Mudke Woand they haven’t looked back even once.
Hum Rishte Kya Hi RakhteHow was I supposed to hold the bond together?
Nadaani Na Samjhi UnkiI failed to see how naive they were,
Ya Kuch Bhi Keh Loor whatever else you want to call it,
Humko Bin Kahe Alvidaleaving me with no goodbye.
Wo Huye LaapataThey’ve gone missing.
Wo Huye LaapataThey’ve gone missing.

Unresolved grief from unexpected ghosting anchors the ‘Laapata’ lyrics meaning. King questions vanished connections through Bharg’s searching melody structure.
