mehfil me chupane pade jazbaat kisi se
hokar bhi na ho payi mulakat kisi se
din raat kasak rehti hai kuch roj se dil me
le bathe hai ham dard ki sogat kisi se
kuch unko takluf sa hai kuch ham ko hya se
aise me jo ho bhi to ho kya baat kisi se
wo raat jo bhar deti hai daman me sitare
mangi hai mere dil ne whi raat kisi se

In gatherings, I hide the whispers of my heart,
Though near, a meeting with a soul, apart.
A constant ache, a shadow in my breast,
I've embraced the sorrow, a painful guest.

They, a distance; I, a blush of holding back,
What words could bloom on such a lonely track?
My heart desires the night that paints the sky
With stardust, that I begged to draw so nigh.
