aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
dil nā-umīd to nahīñ nākām hī to hai
lambī hai ġham kī shaam magar shaam hī to hai
dil na-umid to nahin nakaam hi to hai
lambi hai gham ki sham magar sham hi to hai
ham ko un se vafā kī hai ummīd
jo nahīñ jānte vafā kyā hai
From her I hope for constancy
who knows it not, to my dismay
hum ko un se wafa ki hai ummid
jo nahin jaante wafa kya hai
koshish bhī kar umiid bhī rakh rāsta bhī chun
phir is ke ba.ad thoḌā muqaddar talāsh kar
koshish bhi kar umid bhi rakh rasta bhi chun
phir is ke baad thoDa muqaddar talash kar
na koī va.ada na koī yaqīñ na koī umiid
magar hameñ to tirā intizār karnā thā
no promise,surety, nor any hope was due
yet I had little choice but to wait for you
na koi wada na koi yaqin na koi umid
magar hamein to tera intizar karna tha
na jaane kis liye ummīd-vār baiThā huuñ
ik aisī raah pe jo terī rahguzar bhī nahīñ
na jaane kis liye ummid-war baiTha hun
ek aisi rah pe jo teri rahguzar bhi nahin
