aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
jab se tū ne mujhe dīvāna banā rakkhā hai
sañg har shaḳhs ne hāthoñ meñ uThā rakkhā hai
jab se tu ne mujhe diwana bana rakkha hai
sang har shaKHs ne hathon mein uTha rakkha hai
vo ham-safar thā magar us se ham-navā.ī na thī
ki dhuup chhāñv kā aalam rahā judā.ī na thī
wo ham-safar tha magar us se ham-nawai na thi
ki dhup chhanw ka aalam raha judai na thi
tire aane kā dhokā sā rahā hai
diyā sā raat bhar jaltā rahā hai
tere aane ka dhoka sa raha hai
diya sa raat bhar jalta raha hai
vo jo ham meñ tum meñ qarār thā tumheñ yaad ho ki na yaad ho
vahī yaanī va.ada nibāh kā tumheñ yaad ho ki na yaad ho
the love that 'tween us used to be, you may, may not recall
those promises of constancy, you may, may not recall
wo jo hum mein tum mein qarar tha tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho
wahi yani wada nibah ka tumhein yaad ho ki na yaad ho
koī ummīd bar nahīñ aatī
koī sūrat nazar nahīñ aatī
no hope is there that now comes to light
nor is there any avenue in sight
koi ummid bar nahin aati
koi surat nazar nahin aati
