kasme hum apani jan ki khaye chale gaye
kasme hum apani jan ki khaye chale gaye
phir bhi vo etabar na laye chale gaye
kasme hum apani jan ki

kah kar gaye the vo ki na aayenge ab kabhi
kah kar gaye the vo ki na aayenge ab kabhi
lekin khayal ban ke voh aaye chale gaye
phir bhi vo etabar na laye chale gaye
kasme hum apani jan ki

rusvayio ke dar se na daman bhigo sake
palko me aansuo ko chhupaye chale gaye
phir bhi vo etabar na laye chale gaye
kasme hum apani jan ki

anvar suzud-e-shauq ki mat puch intaha
anvar suzud-e-shauq ki mat puch intaha
har har kadam pe sar ko jhukaye chale gaye
phir bhi vo etabar na laye chale gaye
kasme hum apani jan ki

By the oath of my soul, I swore and kept,
By the oath of my soul, I swore and kept,
Yet trust, they never brought, but swept
By the oath of my soul.

They vowed, never to return, never to be,
They vowed, never to return, never to be,
But as thought, they came, for only me,
Yet trust, they never brought, but swept
By the oath of my soul.

Fear of shame, held my tears in check,
Fear of shame, held my tears in check,
Hiding the sorrow, in my eye's own fleck,
Yet trust, they never brought, but swept
By the oath of my soul.

Anwar, the depth of desire, ask not its end,
Anwar, the depth of desire, ask not its end,
Each step, my head, I did bend,
Yet trust, they never brought, but swept
By the oath of my soul.
