tum nahi aaj, phir ye sham aayi hai kyu
phir hai ye raat, tumhari raat
tum nahi ho

galiyo ke ghere mahal tere
galiyo ke ghere mahal tere
kis mod sapne bhul gaye hai
tumhari najre, tum nahi ho

phir hume yaad tumhari baate
tum nahi ho

ye tanhai raat ne ganwai
pal bhar aaya, raat bhar aayi
aankh bhar bhar, ghir ghir ke sawan aaya
aankh bhar bhar, ghir ghir ke sawan aaya

bit gaya jo, dhua hai wo
tum nahi ho

tum nahi ho

galiyo ke ghere
galiyo ke ghere mahal tere
kis mod sapne

A fleeting moment, then a nightlong sorrow.
Tears welling, a monsoon gathering,
Tears welling, a monsoon gathering.

What's passed is smoke, now fading,
You're not here.
You're not here.

The lanes encircle,
The lanes encircle your palace.
At what crossroads, dreams...
