aaj bhi na aaye aansu
aaj bhi na bheege naina

aaj bhi ye kori raina
kori laut jayegi

Empty-handed, it will depart.
Empty-handed, evening descends.
None has come today,

Empty, it will return.
Empty-handed, evening descends,
Empty-handed, it will depart.
Empty-handed, evening descends.

Even today, no tears appear,
Even today, eyes remain dry.

Even today, eyes remain dry.
Even today, the night remains barren,
Even today, the night remains barren,
Barren, it will return.
Empty-handed, evening descends,
Empty-handed, it will depart.
Empty-handed, evening descends.

If the night's darkness comes,
It will not erase.
If the night's darkness comes,
It will not erase.
If not erased today,
If not erased today,
Tomorrow it will return.
Empty-handed, evening descends,
Empty-handed, it will depart.

Empty, it will return.
