dasht e tanhaai me e jaan e jaha larzaan hai
dasht e tanhaai me e jaan e jaha larzaan hai
teri aawaz ke saaye tere hotho ke saraab
dasht e tanhai me duri ke khas o khaak tale
khil rahe hain tere pahlu ke saman aur gulaab
dasht e tanhaai me e jaan e jaha larzaan hai
dasht e tanhaai me e jaan e jaha larzaan hai
teri aawaz ke saaye tere hotho ke saraab
dasht e tanhai me duri ke khas o khaak tale
khil rahe hain tere pahlu ke saman aur gulaab
dasht e tanhai me

uth rahi hai kahi qurbat se teri saans ki aanch
uth rahi hai kahi qurbat se teri saans ki aanch
apni khushbu me sulagti hui
maddham, maddham dur ufaq paar chamakti hui
qatra qatra gir rahi hai teri dildaar nazar ki shabnam
dasht e tanhaai me e jaan e jaha larzaan hai
teri aawaz ke saaye tere hotho ke saraab
uth rahi hai kahi qurbat se teri saans ki aanch
uth rahi hai kahi qurbat se teri saans ki aanch
apni khushbu me sulagti hui
maddham, maddham dur ufaq paar chamakti hui
qatra qatra gir rahi hai teri dildaar nazar ki shabnam
dasht e tanhaai me e jaan e jaha larzaan hai
teri aawaz ke saaye tere hotho ke saraab

is qadar pyaar se e jaan e jaha rakha hai
is qadar pyaar se e jaan e jaha rakha hai
dil ke rukhsaar pe is waqt teri yaad ne haath
yun gumaan hota hai garje hain abhi subh e firaaq
dhal gaya hizr ka din aa bhi gayi basl ki raat
is qadar pyaar se e jaan e jaha rakha hai
is qadar pyaar se e jaan e jaha rakha hai
dil ke rukhsaar pe is waqt teri yaad ne haath
yun gumaan hota hai garje hain abhi subh e firaaq
dhal gaya hizr ka din aa bhi gayi basl ki raat
dasht e tanhaai me e jaan e jaha larzaan hai
teri aawaz ke saaye tere hotho ke saraab

In deserts of aloneness, O soul of the world, tremors reside,
In deserts of aloneness, O soul of the world, tremors reside.
Shadows of your voice, mirages of your lips,
Beneath the coarse dust of distance,
Bloom your jasmine and roses,
In deserts of aloneness, O soul of the world, tremors reside.
In deserts of aloneness, O soul of the world, tremors reside.
Shadows of your voice, mirages of your lips,
Beneath the coarse dust of distance,
Bloom your jasmine and roses,
In deserts of aloneness.

From closeness, your breath's warmth arises somewhere,
From closeness, your breath's warmth arises somewhere,
Smoldering in its fragrance,
Faintly, faintly, shining beyond the horizon,
Drop by drop, falls the dew of your beloved gaze.
In deserts of aloneness, O soul of the world, tremors reside.
Shadows of your voice, mirages of your lips,

Faintly, faintly, shining beyond the horizon,
Drop by drop, falls the dew of your beloved gaze.
In deserts of aloneness, O soul of the world, tremors reside.
Shadows of your voice, mirages of your lips.

With this settled love, O soul of the world, it must be kept,
With this settled love, O soul of the world, it must be kept,
On the cheeks of the heart, at this moment, your memory’s hand,
It seems as though the garlands are still fresh, the morning of separation,
The day of separation has passed, and the night of union has arrived.
With this settled love, O soul of the world, it must be kept.
