na tum aaye na nind aayi
tumhari yaad hi aayi
na tum aaye na nind aayi
tumhari yaad hi aayi
kisi pathar se takra kar
meri fariyad hi aayi
na tum aaye na nind aayi
tumhari yaad hi aayi

teri aawaz mahfil se
na kuch bhi pa sake hum to
na kuch bhi pa sake hum to
meri kismat gayi barbad
meri kismat gayi barbad
aur barbad hi aayi
kisi pathar se takra kar
meri fariyad hi aayi
na tum aaye na nind aayi
tumhari yaad hi aayi

liye bulbul do tinke
ke sara aasma chauka
liye bulbul do tinke
ke sara aasma chauka
ke sara aasma chauka
bahar aayi bhi to dil me
bahar aayi bhi to dil me
liye fariyad hi aayi
kisi pathar se takra kar
meri fariyad hi aayi
na tum aaye na nind aayi
tumhari yaad hi aayi

You came not, nor did sleep descend,
Only your memory, my friend.
You came not, nor did sleep descend,
Only your memory, without end.
Against stone, my cry did break,
My lamentation, for your sake.
You came not, nor did sleep descend,
Only your memory, to transcend.

From the echoes of your voice,
We gained no solace, had no choice.
We gained no solace, no release,
My fate, it crumbled, found no peace.
My destiny, a wasted plea,
Emptiness, that came to me.
Against stone, my cry did break,
My lamentation, for your sake.
You came not, nor did sleep descend,
Only your memory, to extend.

A bulbul, two straws it bore,
And stunned the heavens evermore.
A bulbul, two straws it bore,
And shook the skies and what’s in store.
And shook the skies, a wondrous sight,
Yet spring arrived, within the night,
Yet spring arrived, within my heart,
My lamentation, played its part.
Against stone, my cry did break,
My lamentation, for your sake.
You came not, nor did sleep descend,
Only your memory, to commend.
