nigahe kyon milayi thi, agar yu chhodjana tha
nigahe kyon milayi thi, agar yu chhodjana tha
ummide kyon jagayi thi, ummide kyon jagayi thi
agar dil ko jalana tha

khushi maangi thi hamne gam se daman bhar diya tune
khushi maangi thi hamne gam se daman bhar diya tune
are o jane wale, are o jane wale
hay yeh kya kar diya tune
mohabbat ki kasam hamne tujhe aisa naa jana tha
nigahe kyon milayi thi, agar yu chhodjana tha

chale aavo tumhe iss dil ki aahen yaad karti hain
chale aavo tumhe iss dil ki aahen yaad karti hain
jo suni ho gai tum bin woh raahen yaad karti hain
mile kyon the agar milna bichhadne kaa bahana tha
nigahe kyon milayi thi agar yu chhodjana tha
ummide kyon jagayi thi, ummide kyon jagayi thi
agar dil ko jalana tha

Why did eyes meet, if leaving was your fate?
Why did eyes meet, if leaving was your fate?
Why did you stir hope, why did you ignite hope?
If your aim was to burn this heart's estate?

We asked for joy, you filled our cloak with grief.
We asked for joy, you filled our cloak with grief.
Oh, you who depart, oh, you who depart,
What sorrow have you brought, what disbelief!
By love's oath, we never knew you thus, you see.
Why did eyes meet, if leaving was your fate?

Return, for this heart's sighs remember you.
Return, for this heart's sighs remember you.
The paths that are barren without you, they yearn, too.
Why did we meet, if parting was your guise?
Why did eyes meet, if leaving was your fate?
Why did you stir hope, why did you ignite hope?
If your aim was to burn this heart's estate?
