niyat-e-shauq bhar na jaaye kahin
niyat-e-shauq bhar na jaaye kahin
tu bhi dil se utar na jaaye kahin
niyat-e-shauq bhar na jaaye kahin

aaj dekha hai tujhko der ke baad
aaj dekha hai tujhko der ke baad
aaj ka din guzar na jaaye kahin
tu bhi dil se utar na jaaye kahin
niyat-e-shauq bhar na jaaye kahin

na mila kar udaas logo se
na mila kar udaas logo se
husn tera bikhar na jaaye kahin
tu bhi dil se utar na jaaye kahin
niyat-e-shauq bhar na jaaye kahin

aarzu hai ke tu yaha aaye
aarzu hai ke tu yaha aaye
aur phir umar bhar na jaaye kahin
tu bhi dil se utar na jaaye kahin
niyat-e-shauq bhar na jaaye kahin

aao kuch der ro hi le naasir
aao kuch der ro hi le naasir
phir ye dariya utar na jaaye kahin
tu bhi dil se utar na jaaye kahin
niyat-e-shauq bhar na jaaye kahin
tu bhi dil se utar na jaaye kahin
niyat-e-shauq bhar na jaaye kahin

Lest desire's well run dry,
Lest desire's well run dry,
And you from my heart slip by.
Lest desire's well run dry.

I see you now, after so long,
I see you now, after so long,
Lest this day swiftly be gone,
And you from my heart slip by,
Lest desire's well run dry.

Don't mingle with the sorrowful,
Don't mingle with the sorrowful,
Lest your beauty, fragmented, fall,
And you from my heart slip by,
Lest desire's well run dry.

My heart yearns for your return,
My heart yearns for your return,
Lest you depart, and never unlearn,
And you from my heart slip by,
Lest desire's well run dry.

Let us weep awhile, Nasir,
Let us weep awhile, Nasir,
Lest this river cease to pour,
And you from my heart slip by,
Lest desire's well run dry,
And you from my heart slip by,
Lest desire's well run dry.
