aaj is darja pila do ke na kuch yaad rahe
aaj is darja pila do ke na kuch yaad rahe
bekudi itani badha do ke na kuch yaad rahe
aaj is darja pila do ke na kuch yaad rahe

dosti kya hai, wafa kya hai muhabbat kya hai
dil ka kya mol hai ehasaas ki keemat kya hai
hamane sab jaan liya hai ke haqeeqat kya hai
aaj bas itani dua do ke na kuch yaad rahe
aaj is darja pila do ke na kuch yaad rahe

mufalisi dekhee, ameeri ki ada dekh chuke
gam ka maahaul, masarrat ki kiza dekh chuke
kaise phirati hai zamaane ki hawa dekh chuke
shamma yaadon ki bujha do, ke na kuch yaad rahe
aaj is darja pila do ke na kuch yaad rahe

ishq bechain kyaalon ke siwa ke kuch bhi nahi
husn berooh ujaalon ke siwa kuch bhi nahi
zindagi chand sawaalon ke siwa kuch bhi nahi
har sawaal aise mita do ke na kuch yaad rahe
aaj is darja pila do ke na kuch yaad rahe

mit na paayega jahaan se kabhi nafarat ka riwaaj
ho na paayega kabhi rooh ke zakmon ka ilaaj
saltanat zulm, kuda waham museebat hai samaaj
saltanat zulm, kuda waham museebat hai samaaj
zahan ko aise sula do ke na kuch yaad rahe
aaj is darja pila do ke na kuch yaad rahe
bekudi itani badha do ke na kuch yaad rahe
aaj is darja pila do ke na kuch yaad rahe

Quench me utterly, let all be gone,
Quench me utterly, let all be gone,
Drown me deep in oblivion's dawn,
Quench me utterly, let all be gone.

What is friendship, loyalty's guise, love's plea?
What the heart's worth, the soul's decree?
We've fathomed the truth, the reality,
Grant me this wish, let nothing be known,
Quench me utterly, let all be gone.

Poverty's grip, riches' empty show,
Grief's shadow, joy's fleeting glow,
How the world's winds ceaselessly blow,
Extinguish memory's ember, let all be gone,
Quench me utterly, let all be gone.

Love, but restless thoughts, nothing more,
Beauty, soulless light, forever sore,
Life, a handful of questions to explore,
Erase each query, let all be gone,
Quench me utterly, let all be gone.

Hatred's tradition, will never cease,
The soul's deep wounds find no release,
Tyranny's reign, God's a false peace,
Tyranny's reign, God's a false peace,
Lull my mind to slumber, let all be gone,
Quench me utterly, let all be gone,
Drown me deep in oblivion's dawn,
Quench me utterly, let all be gone.
