may se, meena se, na saaqi se
may se, meena se, na saaqi se
na paimane se, dil behalta hai mera
aapke aa jaane se
aapke aa jaane se, aapke aa jaane se

gul se, guncho se, na bulbul ke
gul se, guncho se, na bulbul ke
gungunane se, dil behalta hai mera
aapke aa jaane se
aapke aa jaane se, aapke aa jaane se

khwab mein jannat ka naksha
aa gaya jab saamne
phulon se bhi dil na behala
hum lage tujhe dhundhne
jannat ki baharo se, na pariyo ke muskurane se
dil behalta hai mera aapke aa jaane se
aapke aa jaane se, aapke aa jaane se

Not from wine, nor from the tavern's grace,
Not from the cup, nor from the drinker's face,
My heart finds solace, finds its resting place,
Only with your coming, only with your face.

Not from the rose, nor from the budding spray,
Nor from the nightingale's melodic lay,
Does joy arise to light my passing day,
Only with your coming, come what may.

A paradise, a vision in my sleep,
Appeared before me, secrets it did keep,
Even flowers could not my heart appease,
Then I searched for you, and longed for ease.
Not from Eden's beauty, nor angels' smiles,
Does my heart find solace, through these trials,
Only with your coming, through the miles,
Only with your coming, across the isles.
