aap gairo ki baat karte hai
humne apne bhi aazmayen hai
log kaanton se bachke chalte hai
humne phulon se zakhm khaye hai

aakhri baar tere husan ko sajda kar lun
fir nahi laut ke mehfil mein teri aaunga
jis mohabbat mein milawat ho sone chaandi ki
us mohabbat ko main tukhrake chala jaaunga

mujhko maalum na tha aaj bhari mehfil mein
ek aansu ki tarah mujhko yun girna hoga
aoni nakaam mohabbat ka janaza lekar
tere kaanton ke shehar mein mujhe chalna hoga
apni humdardiyon ke yun na uchalo patthar
aaina banke jo tuta to na judh paaunga haye
jis mohabbat mein milawat ho sone chaandi ki
us mohabbat ko main tukhrake chala jaaunga

isse pehle ke tu kuche se nikale mujhko
meri khamoshiyon ka naam tu zafa rakh de
meri majbooriyon ko meri khata keh kar tu
apni naadaniyon ka naam tu vafa rakh de
jina dushvar to hoga tere bin par sun le
apni aankhon mein kabhi ashk nahi launga haye
jis mohabbat mein milawat ho sone chaandi ki
us mohabbat ko main tukhrake chala jaaunga
chala jaaunga chala jaaunga

You speak of strangers, their betrayals,
But I have known the venom of my own.
Men shy from thorns, their painful trails,
While I, by roses, have been overthrown.

One last time, I bow to your beauty's grace,
Then never shall I grace your halls again.
A love diluted, where gold takes its place,
I cast it aside, and walk through sun and rain.

I never knew, amidst this crowded space,
I'd fall like a tear, a moment's fleeting show.
Bearing the funeral of love's disgrace,
Through your city of thorns, I now must go.
Don't cast your stones of pity, cold and stark,
A shattered mirror, no repair it knows.
A love diluted, where gold leaves its mark,
I cast it aside, and where the river flows.

Before you banish me from your domain,
Call my silence, a cruelty, a painful sting.
And label my burdens, as my fault and stain,
Your own follies, your true love to bring.
Though life is hard, unbearable, I confess,
I shall never let tears stream from my eyes again.
A love diluted, where gold takes its impress,
I cast it aside, again, and yet again.
