hum dum se gaye humdum ke liye
humdum ki kasam humdum na mila
dum se gaye
hum dum se gaye humdum ke liye
humdum ki kasam humdum na mila
dum se gaye

fir bhi kahe ja tu apna afsana
sathi mil jayega na ruk jana
fir bhi kah ja tu apna afsana
sathi mil jayega na ruk jana
o dil teri kali abhi to nahi khili
abhi wo mausam na mila dum se gaye
hum dum se gaye humdum ke liye
humdum ki kasam humdum na mila
dum se gaye

aye dil chamka tu apne dago ko
roshan kiye ja bujhe chirago ko
aye dil chamka tu apne dago ko
roshan kiye ja bujhe chirago ko
tu gaye ja meri ja ye dunia hai yaha
kisi ko marhum na mila dum se gaye
hum dum se gaye humdum ke liye
humdum ki kasam humdum na mila
dum se gaye

moti na mile to ashk bharna hai
daman bharna teri tamnna hai
moti na mile to ashk bharna hai
daman bharna teri tamnna hai
to pyare tujhe khushi agar nahi mili
to gum kuch kam na mila dum se gaye
humdum se gaye humdum ke liye
humdum ki kasam humdum na mila
dum se gaye
humdum se gaye humdum ke liye
humdum ki kasam humdum na mila
dum se gaye

For the breath of a friend, I departed the friend,
By the friend's oath, the friend was not found,
Departed by breath.

Departed by breath.

Yet still, narrate your tale,
A companion will be found, do not cease.

Oh heart, your bud has not yet bloomed,
That season was not found, departed by breath.

O heart, illuminate your scars,
Light up the extinguished lamps.
O heart, illuminate your scars,
Light up the extinguished lamps.
Sing on, my soul, this world is here,
To none, a balm was found, departed by breath.
For the breath of a friend, I departed the friend,
By the friend's oath, the friend was not found,
Departed by breath.

If a pearl is not found, tears must be shed,
To fill the hem, is your desire.
If a pearl is not found, tears must be shed,
To fill the hem, is your desire.
So, beloved, if joy you did not gain,
Sorrow was not lessened, departed by breath.

By the friend's oath, the friend was not found,
Departed by breath.
