aankho ke pardo pe pyaara sa jo tha wo nazaara
dhua sa ban kar udh gaya ab na raha
baithe the hum to khwabon ke chaon ke tale
chod ke unko jaane kahan ko chale

kahani khatam hai ya shuruwaat hone ke hai
subah nayi hai yeh ya phir raat hone ko hai
kahani khatam hai ya shuruwaat hone ke hai
subah nayi hai yeh ya phir raat hone ko hai

aane wala waqt dega panahe
ya phir se milenge doraahe
khabar kya kya pata

Upon the eyes, a beloved scene once bright,
Now smoke, dispersed, vanished from sight.
Beneath the dream-shadows, we did reside,
Departing, leaving, where do they now glide?

Is the tale done, or a dawn yet to bloom?
A fresh morning, or night's encroaching gloom?
Is the tale done, or a dawn yet to bloom?
A fresh morning, or night's encroaching gloom?

The coming time, will it shelter and keep?
Or will crossroads again find us to weep?
Who knows what awaits, what secrets it hides?
