aaj pehlu mein dard sa kya hai
aaj pehlu mein dard sa kya hai
kuchh nahi hai to phir hua kya hai
kuchh nahi hai to phir hua kya hai

tum bhi jab mera aasra na bane
tum bhi jab mera aasra na bane
phir na puchho ke aasra kya hain
phir na puchho ke aasra kya hain

yaad aate ho to yaad karti hun
yaad aate ho to yaad karti hun
ab bataao meri khata kya hai
ab bataao meri khata kya hai

maut se sidhi si ek baat ho gayi
is mohabbat ki intehaa kya hai
is mohabbat ki intehaa kya hai
aaj pehlu mein dard sa kya hai

Aching whispers, a phantom’s plea,
Why this sorrow, residing in me?
If emptiness reigns, a desolate space,
Then tell me, oh tell me, what’s left to embrace?

When even your haven, no comfort did bring,
When even your haven, no solace could sing,
Then cease from inquiring, this yearning so deep,
What shelters the soul, when the heart cannot sleep?

When memories surface, a bittersweet art,
When memories surface, and tear me apart,
Then tell me, my love, what transgressions I've made,
What price must be paid, for the love that has swayed?

Death's silent promise, a whisper so low,
A question unanswered, a truth we must know,
What limits the love, this fire that burns,
What end to this journey, to which the soul turns?
Why this sorrow, residing in me?
