badam mein aag si chehara gulab jaisa hai
badam mein aag si chehara gulab jaisa hai
ke jahar-e-gam ka nasha bhi sharab jaisa hai
badan mein aag si

wo samne hai magar tishngi nahi jati
wo samne hai magar tishngi nahi jati
ye kya sitam hai ke dariya sarab jaisa hai
ye kya sitam hai ke dariya sarab jaisa hai
ke jahar-e-gam ka nasha bhi sharab jaisa hai
badan mein aag si

kaha wo kurb ke ab to ye haal hai jaise
kaha wo kurb ke ab to ye haal hai jaise
tere firak ka aalam bhi khwab jaisa hai
tere firak ka aalam bhi khwab jaisa hai
ke jahar-e-gam ka nasha bhi sharab jaisa hai
badan mein aag si

faraj sang-e-malamat se jakham jakham sahi
faraj sang-e-malamat se jakham jakham sahi
hame ajij hai khanakharab jaisa hai
hame ajij hai khanakharab jaisa hai
badam mein aag si chehara gulab jaisa hai
badam mein aag si chehara gulab jaisa hai

A fire within, a rose upon the face,
A fire within…

The poison of sorrow, a wine's embrace,
A fire within…

She is before me, yet thirst remains,
She is before me…

This cruel twist, the ocean a mirage's chains,
The poison of sorrow, a wine's embrace,
A fire within…

Where once was nearness, now a state so dire,
Where once was…

Your absence, a world of dreams to mire,
The poison of sorrow, a wine's embrace,
A fire within…

Though wounds of scorn upon Faraz now bleed,
Though wounds…

We cherish this home, a place we concede,
We cherish this home…
A fire within, a rose upon the face,
A fire within…
