daur-e-khiza tha dil ke chaman me
koi aaj banke bahar aa gaya hai
tanhaaiya thi viraaniya thi
koi aaj leke karar aa gaya hai
daur-e-khiza

koi dilkashi thi na koi khushi thi
koi dilkashi thi na koi khushi thi
badi kashmkash me ye zindagi thi
tum aa gaye jo sar-e-sham dil ko
aaj un khayalo pe pyar aa gaya hai
daur-e-khiza

ye kehte rahe dil se shab-e-gam ke saye
ye kehte rahe dil se shab-e-gam ke saye
chirag-e-tamanna koi to jalaaye
hasin chand chamka naya nur lekar
umngo pe jaise nikhar aa gaya hai
daur-e-khiza tha dil ke chaman me
koi aaj banke bahar aa gaya hai
tanhaaiya thi viraaniya thi
koi aaj leke karar aa gaya hai
daur-e-khiza

Autumn reigned, within the heart's own bloom,
Then Spring arrived, dispelling gathering gloom.
Loneliness, a desert, barren, vast,
Then solace came, a promise meant to last.
Autumn reigned.

No beauty lingered, nor a joy to find,
A ceaseless struggle, tormenting mind.
You came at dusk, into the heart's domain,
And love then bloomed, in memory's soft rain.
Autumn reigned.

The shadows whispered, through the night's deep pain,
"Let hope's own lamp, its gentle light, sustain."
Then beauty shone, a moon new-born, so bright,
And on desires, a pure and cleansing light.
Autumn reigned, within the heart's own bloom,
Then Spring arrived, dispelling gathering gloom.
Loneliness, a desert, barren, vast,
Then solace came, a promise meant to last.
Autumn reigned.
