phir kuch is dil ko beqarari hain
phir kuch is dil ko beqarari hain
seena zoya-e-zakhm-e-kaari hain
phir kuch is dil ko

phir jigar khodane laga naakhun
aamad-e-fasle lalaqaari hain
phir kuch is dil ko

phir usi bewafaa pe marte hain
phir usi bewafaa pe marte hain
phir wohi zindagi hamari hain
phir kuch is dil ko

bekhudi besabab nahin gaalib
kuch to hain jiski pardadaari hain
phir kuch is dil ko beqarari hain

Again, this heart, restless it sighs,
Again, this heart, restless it cries,
Seeking wounds where sorrow lies.
Again, this heart.

Again, the nail digs at the soul,
Like fields of tulips taking hold,
Again, this heart.

Again, for that faithless one, we yearn,
Again, for that faithless one, we burn,
Again, our life, a lesson to learn.
Again, this heart.

Ghalib, such rapture is not for naught,
A hidden truth, dearly bought,
Again, this heart, restless thought.
