phir mujhe did-ae-tar yad aaya
dil jigar tishana-ae-fariyad aaya
phir mujhe did-ae-tar yad aaya

dam liya tha na qayamat ne hano
dam liya tha na qayamat ne hano
phir tera vaqt-ae-safar yad aaya
phir mujhe dida-ae-tar yad aaya

zindagi yun bhi guzar hi jati
zindagi yun bhi guzar hi jati
kyun tera rahaguzar yad aaya
phir mujhe did-ae-tar yad aaya

phir tere kuche ko jata hai kayal
phir tere kuche ko jata hai kayal
dil-e-gumagashta magar yad aaya
phir mujhe did-ae-tar yad aaya

Then the vision of tears returned,
My heart, my liver, thirsty for lament.
Then the vision of tears returned.

The Day of Reckoning itself held its breath,
The Day of Reckoning itself held its breath.
Then your hour of departure returned to mind.
Then the vision of tears returned.

Life would have passed anyway,
Life would have passed anyway,
Why your path, the road you trod, returned?
Then the vision of tears returned.

Again my thought travels to your lane,
Again my thought travels to your lane,
But the lost heart, it returned to mind.
Then the vision of tears returned.
