[0:00]The point is, these breaths have learned to lie. But these eyes couldn't. These eyes aren't even able to.

[0:12]Kaha hai ki...

[0:15]What if these eyes learned to lie?

[0:20]If only these eyes could lie to you. What would have happened if these eyes could have lied to you? How many times we were disgraced beyond measure and yet made peace again without even truly sulking with you.

[0:38]How many times, who knows how deeply, I shattered and then gathered ourselves again just by brushing against you. How many times we were pierced through, left torn apart and yet healed again just by confessing love to you.

[0:54]How many times, who knows how much, we wept and then somehow laughed again just by hearing you ask if we were alright. Today, you wouldn't have even known of the state I was in. If only these eyes could have lied to you.

[1:10]That is why, when he (Jordan) is about to die he really doesn't want anything. He doesn't wish to be touched by his lover. He doesn't wish to wrap her in his arms and hug. He only wants his eyes. Reading in Punjabi for the first time. Kaha hai ki...

[1:25]You're a liar! You're a liar, I'm a liar too. You're a liar, I'm a liar too. Deceptive hands, deceptive feet. All these sights are deceptive. All of them here are liars. Only the eyes that are truthful.

[1:43]Deceitful moon, deceitful sun. Lying stars, and all gathered here are liars too. Only the eyes that are truthful. And even when I'm dying, let my eyes wither away. And take whatever else you desire.

[2:01]Take whatever you want. Take my plight, every strand of my hair. Take my skin too, for even my skin is false. But spare my eyes, the ones that truly see, the eyes that cannot lie. The eyes that cannot lie.
