aaisha meri
kaisi nind so gai aaisha meri
kaisi nind so gai aaisha meri
kaha kho gayi kahani ummidon bhari
kaisi nind so gai aaisha meri

abhi to yaha thi mushkukrati hui
apni nanhi baaton se dil bahlati hui
amanat thi khuda ki, vapas jana hi tha
sammaa thi parvano ke liye, jal jana hi tha
sochta hu us zindagi ka maksad tha kya
milkar judai kabhi na milne se behtar hain kya
kaisi nind so gai aaisha meri
kaisi nind so gai aaisha meri

aaisha kahan ja basi ho tum
lagta hain kahin kho gayi ho gum
ya fir aastha hi, bhul bhulaiya sa hain
manjil ka pata hi, kuchh mit gaya sa hain
kya fir kabhi tumhari, naa dikhegi muskan
kya meri ye talash, kabhi na hogi asaan
yaad aati hain bahut masumiyat tumahri
gujare jammane aur jadu si kahani hamari
itani jaldi chale jane ka kyun faisla kiya
bahut hansaya fir aise rula kyun diya

humm aaisha meri
kaisi nind so gai aaisha meri
kaha kho gayi

wo fisalte kadam aur bikhre se baal
naachte aankhe aur chulbuli si saval
wo nadan khwab aur bekabu armaan
yaad aave hain wo pyar bhare farmaan
ab ghar lautate hain to lagta hai ujada huaa
kisi tara fir mil jaau
ye rahti hain duaa
yakin tha hamesa rahega tumhara saath
bachpan ke baad hi kyun chut gaya
bo nanha haath
kaisi nind so gai aaisha meri

aaisha meri aaisha
jab milte hain javano ke tol mujhe wo
tumahre hi sapno se bhare dil lagte hain
tumahri aankho me tha jine ka naya josh
fire khane kyun chhod diya kushiyo ka wo hosh
tute khwabon ke tukado ko
kaise bin bin ke jodun
unke sahare kaise zindagi ki raah ko modun
gam jo itna sath rahega, ban jayega najuk
dhundo koi isaki jo dava kar dega karun
bhul jata hun main sayad ki tumhi ho dawa
yaadon ki khurak pine me hain sifar
kaisi nind so gai aaisha meri
kaisi nind so gai aaisha meri
kaha kho gayi kahani ummidon bhari
kaisi nind so gai aaisha meri

Aisha mine,
What slumber has claimed you, Aisha mine?
Where has the story, hope-filled, declined?
What slumber has claimed you, Aisha mine?

Just moments ago, your laughter bright,
With childish tales, you filled the light.
A trust from God, to return, it was fated,
A flame for moths, to be consumed, it was stated.
I ponder now, what life's true aim could be,
Is meeting, then parting, better than never to see?
What slumber has claimed you, Aisha mine?
What slumber has claimed you, Aisha mine?

Aisha, where have you gone to reside?
Lost, it seems, in the world's wide tide.
Or is faith itself, a deceptive maze?
The path to the goal, somewhat erased.
Will your smile ever again grace my sight?
Will this search of mine, ever find its light?
How your innocence, deeply, I yearn to recall,
Our days of magic, encompassing all.
Why this swift departure, this sudden decree?
You made me laugh so, then left me in misery.

Oh, Aisha mine,
What slumber has claimed you, Aisha mine?
Where have you gone?

Those slipping steps, and scattered hair,
Dancing eyes, with questions to share.
Those innocent dreams, desires untamed,
I remember the words of love, proclaimed.
Now returning home, it feels desolate and bare,
Praying to somehow meet you there.
Believing always, your presence would be,
Why did that small hand, leave after infancy?
What slumber has claimed you, Aisha mine?

Aisha mine, Aisha,
When I meet the young ones, their spirits entwined,
With dreams of you, their hearts you've defined.
In your eyes, a vibrant, courageous endeavor,
Why did you abandon that joy forever?
How do I gather the shards of dreams shattered?
How can I shape life's path, scattered?
Grief, that remains a constant companion,
Seek a remedy, a healing dominion.
Perhaps I forget, that you are the cure,
Memories the sustenance, I must endure.
What slumber has claimed you, Aisha mine?
What slumber has claimed you, Aisha mine?
Where has the story, hope-filled, declined?
What slumber has claimed you, Aisha mine?
