aaj kal humse ruthe huye hai sanam
aaj kal humse ruthe huye hai sanam
pyaar me ho rahe hai sitam pe sitam lekin khuda ki kasam
honge jis roj hum aamane saamane
honge jis roj hum aamane saamane
saare shikawe gile dur ho jaayenge
aaj kal humse ruthe huye hai sanam

unke har naaj ki hamne taarif ki
unke har naaj ki hamne taarif ki
shukriya bhi na kehne ki taklif ki
hamne dekha toh parde me woh chhup gaye
hamne dekha toh parde me woh chhup gaye
kya pata tha woh magrur ho jaayenge
aaj kal humse ruthe huye hai sanam
aaj kal humse ruthe huye hai sanam

khubsurat hai woh aur maasum hai
khubsurat hai woh aur maasum hai
abb yeh baate kaha maalum hai
jo phasaane fakat apne honto pe hai
jo phasaane fakat apne honto pe hai
har gali me yeh mashhoor ho jaayenge
aaj kal humse ruthe huye hai sanam
aaj kal humse ruthe huye hai sanam

humko apni nigaaho pe hai aitbaar
humko apni nigaaho pe hai aitbaar
ek din unko kar denge hum bekaraar
jis tarah hum mohabbate me majbur hai
jis tarah hum mohabbate me majbur hai
iss tarah woh bhi majbur ho jaayenge
aaj kal humse ruthe huye hai sanam
pyaar me ho rahe hai sitam pe sitam
honge jis roj hum aamane saamane
honge jis roj hum aamane saamane
saare shikawe gile dur ho jaayenge
aaj kal humse ruthe huye hai sanam

My beloved, a distance now resides,
My beloved, their heart now hides.
Though love's cruel tempest fiercely bites,
By God, the dawn will bring our lights.
When our eyes meet, face to face again,
When our eyes meet, the pain will mend,
My beloved, a distance now attends.

Each caprice, we praised with earnest grace,
Each caprice, in love's embrace.
No word of thanks, no gentle plea,
We sought their gaze, a hidden decree.
Behind the veil, they chose to flee,
Did we know, they'd grow so grand, you see?
My beloved, a distance now they keep.

Beautiful, yes, and innocent they seem,
Beautiful, like a waking dream,
But words are lost, their lips now sealed,
Those tales they keep, the stories concealed.
Through every street, their fame revealed,
My beloved, a distance now concealed.
My beloved, a distance now they keep.

Our own hearts trust our hopeful gaze,
Our own hearts, in love's maze.
One day we'll stir their every thought,
One day, their longing will be caught.
As love has bound us, dearly bought,
As love has bound us, dearly wrought,
My beloved, a distance now they keep.
Though love's cruel tempest fiercely bites,
When our eyes meet, face to face again,
When our eyes meet, the pain will mend,
My beloved, a distance now attends.
