kabhi kabhi teri palko pe jhilmilaon main
kabhi kabhi teri palko pe jhilmilaon main
kabhi kabhi tu intazaar kare aur
tu intazaar kare aur bhul jaaun main
kabhi kabhi teri palko pe jhilmilaon main
kabhi kabhi

samandaro mein pahoch kar fareb mat dena
samandaro mein pahoch kar fareb mat dena
agar kahaun agar kahaun
agar kahaun to kinaare pe dub jaaun main
agar kahaun to kinaare pe dub jaaun main
tu intazaar kare aur
tu intazaar kare aur bhul jaaun main
kabhi kabhi teri palko pe jhilmilaon main
kabhi kabhi

teri gali ki hawa bhi sharab jaisi hain
teri gali ki hawa bhi sharab jaisi hain
peeye bageir peeye bageir
peeye bageir bhi guzaru to ladkhadaun main
peeye bageir bhi guzaru to ladkhadaun main
kabhi kabhi

yahin adda to mohabbat ki cheez hain paicer
yahin adda to mohabbat ki cheez hain paicer
woh jaan bujh woh jaan bujh
woh jaan bujh ke rutha rahe mana main
woh jaan bujh ke rutha rahe manaun main
tu intazaar kare aur
tu intazaar kare aur bhul jaaun main
kabhi kabhi teri palko pe jhilmilaon mein
kabhi kabhi kabhi kabhi kabhi kabhi

Sometimes, I shimmer on your lashes, a fleeting light,
Sometimes, I shimmer on your lashes, taking flight.
Sometimes, you wait, in patient, hopeful grace,
And I, forgotten, vanish from that place.
Sometimes, I shimmer on your lashes, a fragile gleam,
Sometimes…

Reaching oceans deep, do not deceive the soul,
Reaching oceans deep, make me whole.
If you but speak the word, if it be so,
I’ll drown myself upon the sandy shore, below.
You wait, in yearning, a heart so pure and true,
And I, forgotten, vanish from your view.
Sometimes, I shimmer on your lashes, a tender ray,
Sometimes…

The very air of your street, a potent wine,
The very air of your street, a love divine.
Even without the drink, without the taste,
I stumble, lost, within this vibrant space.
Sometimes…

Such sweet defiance, a lover’s art,
Such sweet defiance, a brand new start.
He, knowing well, knowing deep inside,
Sulks, and I, I beg him, side by side.
You wait, in longing, your spirit takes flight,
And I, forgotten, vanish from the light.
Sometimes, I shimmer on your lashes, a tender gleam,
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes…
