koi gesu koi anchal hume awaz na de
ab kisi aankh ka kajal hume awaz na de

hum hai khamosh to khamosh hi rahne do hame
koi aahat koi halchal hume awaz na de

humne tanhai ko mehboob bana rakha hai
rakh ki dheri me sholo ko daba rakha hai

Let no tress, no veil, call to my ear,
Let no kohl-lined eye summon me here.

We are silent, let silence be our keep,
Let no footfall, no stir, disturb our sleep.

We have embraced solitude as our love,
In ash-heaps, we've quelled flames that move.
