guzaraa huaa zamaanaa, aataa nahi dubaaraa
haafiz khudaa tumhaaraa

khushiyaan thi chaar pal ki aansu hai umr bhar ke
tanhaaiyo me aqsar roege yaad kar ke
do vaqt jo ki hamane ik saath hai guzaaraa
haafiz
meri qasam hai mujhako tum bevafaa na kahanaa
majabur thi muhabbat sab kuchh padaa hai sahanaa
tufaan hai zindagi kaa ab aakhiri sahaaraa
haafiz

mere liye sahar bhi aai hai raat ban kar
nikalaa meraa janaazaa meri baraat ban kar
achchhaa huaa jo tumane dekhaa na ye nazaaraa
haafiz

The vanished hour, it comes no more,
May God be your keeper, forevermore.

Brief joys, a fleeting, four-fold breath,
Tears endure, an age of death,
In solitudes, recalling, we'll weep and pour,
Moments shared, our hearts did soar,
May God be your keeper, forevermore.

My oath, I beg you, do not say I strayed,
Compelled by love, the cost I paid,
Life's storm descends, my final hold,
May God be your keeper, a story told.

For me, the dawn became the night,
My funeral, a wedding's light,
Good fortune that you missed this view,
May God be your keeper, faithful and true.
